[gentoo-user] equery

equery seems crazy. I have gentoolkit-0.2.0, and just reemerged it for
good measure.

 	$ equery depends vim
 	[ Searching for packages depending on vim... ]

"vim" is just an example, it's the same with other packages. Also,
revdep-rebuild -p says there is no problem with missing dependencies...

Any idea?

No problems here:

 equery depends xine
[ Searching for packages depending on xine... ]
dev-libs/DirectFB-extra-0.9.22
media-video/totem-1.0.4

But I do remember having such problems in the (distant) past. Don't see
anything on b.g.o that looks like this, though.

The problem, from the looks of it, could be in Python, or in gentoolkit
itself.

Have you updated Python recently? Perhaps you need to run
/usr/sbin/python-updater to make sure everything is copacetic.

Or, of course, you could upgrade gentoolkit; maybe that was a problem
with it that was fixed (gentoolkit didn't used to work very well for
'depends' or 'uses' at all, until recently).

python is up-to-date, and I just run /usr/sbin/python-updater (how do
you know this? Meaning: what part of the docs did I miss?)

Did it, to the ~x86 version. No joy.

My box at home has the same stable versions and equery works...

I've seen messages like that from portage and when I run the command again 
it works.  It seems that sometimes portage is running and executing a 
command like that cause it to get confused.

This has happened for some time now, on my office computer. It is
consistent...

Don't think it's in the docs; I know about it from reading my emerge
output. The recommendation to run /usr/sbin/python-updater is in the
einfo displayed at the end of a Python emerge (in the case you just
updated from 2.2.x to 2.3.x). So I remembered that such a utility
existed-- didn't remember the name, but remembered that I had seen it in
the einfo, so I just opened up the (latest) Python ebuild in nano and
copied it into the mail (yeah, I cheat ;) ).

Sorry that wasn't any help, though... I'm out of ideas other than
unmerge gentoolkit completely, and remerge it, short of a very very
thorough comparison of the system where it works to the system where it
doesn't... which is worse than looking for a needle in a haystack, since
at least in the latter case, you know what you're looking for.

Hi,
Running a script to update Perl&Python modules is a common issue after
updating them (Perl&Python) to a new (specially) major version.
Try the testing (~x86) version of gentoolkit it *may* work.
For dependency checking i use the "dep" (ecatmur's) script

It doesn't. I had already tried it.

Will take a look. Still, I'd like to know what the problem is...

I believe that you are running into bug #90680

Maybe not. I tried again while running "top" and memory usage din't go
over 4.8%...
