[gentoo-user] source repository could not be determined

[gentoo-user] source repository could not be determined

[Joseph]

I'm trying to re-emerge package kbarcode but it keeps complaing: 
that the source repository could not be determined

emerge -pv kbarcode

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/kbarcode-2.0.7  USE="-debug% -doc -xinerama%" 0 kB [?=>1]

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage tree and overlays:
  [0] /usr/portage
  [1] /usr/local/portage/layman/kde-sunset
  [?] indicates that the source repository could not be determined

How to fix it?

The error means that the package is no longer in portage or any of the 
overlays you are using. It's probably dead.

Is it a KDE-3.5 package? If so, it will be in the kde-sunset overlay.

Fix it.
I don't know what had happened but I run digest on the overlay ebuild and it emerged OK.

From what i can see, i understand that kbarcode was removed from
/usr/portage overlay (that's the source of ?, as it's no more in
/usr/portage, then portage cannot determine the source of the ebuild),
but add in kde-sunset overlay. It's not an error, just an information
message. It doesn't need any fix. Just doing a emerge kbarcode should
have done the trick.

HTH.
