Well it seems portage may have a regression. It should not have included that last entry as a package. Try downgrading to portage-2.2_rc61 and see if it still errors the same.

lordcris I've been talking with the lead portage developer and there have not been any changes to that portion of portage code for quite a while. There does not seem to be anything that would have caused it to return the files subdir of that String-Random package as a package.
Nor do we have a clue as to why removing the String-Util pkg from your overlay seems to fix it.
Could you please make a tarball of that portion of your overlay (all perl-gcpan) and attach it to the porthole bug @ sourceforge
P.S. I see in the bug that it error'd out using portage-2.2_rc61 as well.

here you go
http://lordcris.com/perl-gcpan.tar.gz
this directory is situated in /usr/local/portage
do you have any cpan modules added using g-cpan?
try and add
| Code: | | g-cpan -i String::Util |
probably you will get the same error |

Ok, your tarball looks and works for me. No I don't download perl modules with g-cpan.
Perhaps you have a mistake in your /etc/portage/categories file. Can you post it here please.

Yes,  That's where the problems are.
this file is for adding categories to portage. Only category names, not packages. this is how it should be.
| Code: |
cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
perl-gcpan
|
Because you added the package name it caused portage to also pass it on to porthole which couldn't handle it.
future portage versions will get that categories check.

If they were added there automatically then yes, report them as bugs. If you added the entries, then no.

perhaps I foolishly added them some years ago, I don't remember.
the current version of those script does not add them to the file. |

Moved from Unsupported Software to Portage & Programming in honor of dol-sen's shiny new Gentoo Developer credentials.

No, it hasn't stopped, just got busy with too many other things, including real life :/, so was on hiatus.
I am hoping to get back at it after the upcoming holidays. What has made it a bit harder to move forward is the big task of the backend restructure. We have a pkgcore backend for it half working. The portage backend is mostly working, but keeps needs a little more changes as we discover how we need to do things in the pkgcore one, etc.. Plus there have been a number of changes in portage's code base that means the interface code will need changes for.

I use porthole as a diagnostic tool started with ordinary user credentials. It is very usefull to instantly see into Changelogs, ebuilds, various versions of a package listed. This way I feel more assured what to do on a root user console and what use flags to set and what versions to mask or unmask.
But every time I start this fine tool "porthole" it keeps my disk busy  |

It is probably busy updating it's description database so it can do fast description searches. When it loads the description db it checks it's timestamp with the timestamp from the gentoo tree. If it doesn't match it works in the background to create a new updated db.

Thanks for the update. I'll drop back in a few months to see how the package has progressed. |

I guessed that. The bad thing is when started as normal user, porthole doesnt have permissions in his /var directory and keeps busy endlessly ....
As of descriptions are badly supported by most of gentoos ebuild maintainers, I would rather like to have droped that descriptions search feature in favor to have a quick porthole tool. |

I could make that automatic description reloading optional in the preferences.
As for permissions, porthole's ebuild sets the group to portage for both /var/db/porthole and /var/log/porthole. So your user should be able to write there provided you are in the portage group which is best and recommended for using porthole as a user. Adding your user to the portage group allows portage to read some data that it can't otherwise. It does not let your user perform merges unless you also set userpriviliges in make.conf
