[gentoo-user] ebuild that installs partprobe

[gentoo-user] ebuild that installs partprobe

[Alan McKinnon]

Hi all,

I used to have the partprobe utility installed, but now it's gone - must 
have trashed it one day without thinking. I can't remember which ebuild 
installed it either...

There a site out there that lists files installed for just about all 
gentoo ebuilds, could some kind soul post the url for me please?

http://www.rommel.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~fejf/cgi-bin/pfs-web.pl?action=home

But it's currently not working :(

http://packages.debian.org says it's part of parted, and qfile agrees (I
didn't even know I had it installed).

That explains why it's missing - victim of a recent spring clean I did. 
I never use parted, I'm an fdisk kind of guy myself :-)

Thanks for the reply, and to Etaoin as well

I knew this:

http://www.rommel.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~fejf/cgi-bin/pfs-web.pl

but it's not working at the moment...

However, a bit of googling seems to indicate that partprobe is part of 
parted (pardon the pun).

I suppose you're talking about PFS, Portage File Search at
http://www.rommel.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~fejf/pfs/ - but that
site is gone now :( If anyone knows of a replacement for this:
Please post URL!

There is a wiki article http://gentoo-wiki.com/PortageFileList which
contains a python script, which sends updates from ones personal box to the
database server. As this project community dependent a lot of users should
help to update the database.

That script fails here... I suppose the site has a bug report or help
link there somewhere.  Or I guess a wiki input scheme... I've never
actually used a wiki in that way before.

Very nice site though... many times over the last 3 or so years I could
have used this..  Thanks gentoo community.

I ran the script here and it worked fine.  Did you run it as root?  Also
make it executable too.

I did those things as matter of course.  It think its a directory at
/var/db/pkg/sus-libs/ that is empty that is causing the grief.

It also appears to have a funky name from some kind of error
somewhere.

/var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-pam-0.99.8.1-r1

If I knew anything about python I might try fixing it since a well
written script ought not to cave on an empty directory.

But since I don't I just moved the directory. :)
