This thread is getting way too long - every paludis issue I search for, returns just this thread.

Anyway, paludis is telling me this:

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception:
  * In program paludis -r:
  * When performing report action from command line:
  * When executing report task:
  * When finding unused packages:
  * When collecting depended upon packages:
  * When collecting depended upon packages for 'net-print/cups-1.2.6::installed':

  * When validating use flag name '~amd64':
  * Name '~amd64' is not a valid use flag name (N7paludis16UseFlagNameErrorE)

Not sure how to fix it.

grep /et/paludis/use.conf for amd64 and if anything found, remove that useflag (as it does not exist).
If you don't find anything or problem persists after editing, paludis --uninstall cups and paludis --install cups should solve it.

Yeah you likely put something there instead of keywords.conf

To make your life easier you can use the Quick search with This topic set instead of All available.

I have planned to finish this thread with 0.16.0 version of Paludis and start a new one if somebody else doesn't do it before. I think it would be better to split a topic when a new version arrives. IIRC the new version will bring some new things and changes, so it would be better to split then, and not mix with older versions.

Anyway, nobody is restricted to this thread.

Nothing in use.conf (although I think cups was in the portage use file sometime ago).

paludis --uninstall cups wont work.

I dont know if that's it, but the error seems to show that the package was installed with an invalid use flag, try to look in :
/var/db/pkg/net-print/cups-1.2.6/USE
Maybe there is a stray ~amd64 in that.

I agree.

Maybe it's time to start a new thread for each topic, as someone suggested, prefixing the title of the thread with [PALUDIS]

Perhaps there are enough people using Paludis now to justify a forum all of it's own.

Tell ciaran to make one then

A whole bunch more people use kde or gnome or mplayer or bash or gcc or gtk or well, you get the idea. None of them have their own forum. In theory all this discussion should be happened at paludis upstream, but well, we see how well that's working.

Paludis-hooks upgraded to 0.1.8.

Sweet. Sounds like one of those bug fixes is what I need, heh

Anyway, does anyone use prelink with paludis? I started installing prelink, but it failed during the test phase:

Also, what hooks would I need for prelinking?

About that fail on src_test, check paludis' homepage FAQ, scroll down to Packages failing src_test

For one thing, use undo-prelink from paludis-hooks, so the prelinked binaries don't get left behind when you unmerge them (because the checksum changed). As for doing the prelink in the first place, I've never bothered with trying to automate it. I just run prelink manually every now and again. *shrug*

I installed portage-utils via the overlay but whenever I try create the ebuild cache for it, it only processes 18 files, and it does not process any files when I try to generate the metadata cache. It seems to work perfectly fine on my other machine and its configuration is virtually identical to the machine I am having this problem with.

dont know if this has been mentioned here yet ... i think paludis users will love these scripts.

cheers

truc · Post by **truc** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 5:57 pm

it is because of space(s) in filenames.

so for now, you can do something like this
check the content of /root/temp before doing second step!!

Code: Select all

# put every filename containing a space in a temporary file /root/temp
cat /var/db/pkg/app-emulation/cedega-4.0/CONTENTS | sed -n '/... .* .* .* .*/s/... \(.*\) [^ ]* [^ ]*/\1/p' > /root/temp
# check this file, if everything looks ok, then let's delete them
while read line; do echo rm "$line" ; done < temp
# then we also remove these lines from the CONTENTS file
sed '/... .* .* [^ ]* [^ ]*/d' -i /var/db/pkg/app-emulation/cedega-4.0/CONTENTS

then you should be able to unmerge cedega again

MaitreChang · Post by **MaitreChang** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:05 pm

Ok thank you I'll try that.

Is this a known bug or should I open one or at least warn ciaranm about it ?

slycordinator · Post by **slycordinator** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:16 pm

He considers it a non-bug. He feels that the vdb entries shouldn't have spaces in the file names but paludis has to work with portage's vdb format which does in fact allow for them.

I wouldn't open a bug on this; it's even discussed in this thread already.

Hi, I just stumbled upon this project and wan't to ask: What's the actual status of the project? Is it ready for normal use (well, at least for my development machine)?

I have sort of antipaty for scripted languages, so Paludis seems like a gift from gods to me
