[gentoo-user] equery caching?

[gentoo-user] equery caching?

[Catalin Grigoroscuta]

Hello,

I've just rebuilt my system without "motif" use flag (with emerge 
--newuse, etc).
Everything works fine, except that equery shows stale data.

For example:
1. "equery depends emacs" shows openmotif as dependency, but emacs is 
rebuilt without motif USE ("emerge -pv emacs" clearly shows this).
2. "equery hasuse motif" also shows emacs

Is there any caching done by equery? How can I invalidate it?

Thank you,
Catalin

Equery, esearch, and einfo (I think) are from an index built by
running eupdatedb.  I'd imagine you're using esync which is just a
very small script that does emerge sync && eupdatedb, so doing a fresh
esync would alleviate the problem you seem to be having, albeit with a
bit of overkill.  Just run eupdatedb as root and see if everything
updates properly.

Hi,

I did not use esync, I did not even know about it, and I do not recall 
seeing it in install docs...
It is quite strange why equery (which is in gentoolkit package) relies 
on eupdatedb (which is in esearch package), and gentoolkit does not 
depend on esearch.
If it were not for your answer, I wouldn't have known about esync and 
eupdatedb.
I think maybe the install docs should be updated, or at least put 
esearch as a dependency of gentoolkit.

Regards, and thanks for your answer,
Catalin

Hi again,

Even with eupdtaedb, same result.
I think this might be a bug in equery. Should I put it in bugzilla?
Here is the proof for what I think is a bug: see the output of "equery 
hasuse motif" and "equery uses emacs". The results are contradictory.

The depends query shows all depends regardless of whether they are enabled or not (by USE flags).

The hasuse query shows all USE flags regardless of whether they are enabled or not.

There is no cache, it queries the database directly.

Gentoolkit and equery do not depend on esearch.

I explained this above.  If you file a bug then AFAIKT it's a feature request.

Whoops, you're right, I thought that equery was part of the other
etools just because of the naming convention.  Pity what not having
access to a gentoo box at work anymore will do to a man.
