Hi, just noticed that there are a number of circular moves in the global update files (PORTDIR/profiles/update/*). This is a bad thing as they cause some issues with etc-update and package.* files, see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-325721.html for an example.
Currently the following entries cause problems: 2Q-2003:move sys-apps/lm_sensors sys-apps/lm-sensors 3Q-2003:move dev-lang/mono dev-dotnet/mono 3Q-2004:move app-laptop/wmbatppc x11-plugins/wmbatppc 3Q-2004:move app-xemacs/eterm app-xemacs/xemacs-eterm 4Q-2002:move net-misc/atftp net-ftp/atftp 4Q-2002:move x11-plugins/gkrellmwireless net-wireless/gkrellmwireless 4Q-2004:move dev-java/wsdl4j-bin dev-java/wsdl4j Their conterparts being: 1Q-2003:move net-wireless/gkrellmwireless x11-plugins/gkrellmwireless 1Q-2004:move x11-plugins/wmbatppc app-laptop/wmbatppc 1Q-2005:move dev-dotnet/mono dev-lang/mono 1Q-2005:move sys-apps/lm-sensors sys-apps/lm_sensors 2Q-2003:move app-xemacs/xemacs-eterm app-xemacs/eterm 3Q-2003:move net-ftp/atftp net-misc/atftp 3Q-2004:move dev-java/wsdl4j dev-java/wsdl4j-bin If you maintain one of the mentioned packages please remove the older entry from the update files. The following (horrible) bash command was used to find these: cd profiles/updates; grep ^move * > /tmp/updatelist; for x in $(cut -d\ -f 2 < /tmp/updatelist) ; do cat /tmp/updatelist | cut -d\ -f 3 | grep $x; done > /tmp/indirectlist; l=""; for x in $(< /tmp/indirectlist); do l="$l\n$(grep $x /tmp/updatelist | cut -d\ -f 2-3)"; done; while read x; do y=$(echo $x | grep -E '.+/.+ .+/.+ .+/.+ .+/.+'); a=$(echo $y | cut -d\ -f 1); b=$(echo $y | cut -d\ -f 2); c=$(echo $y | cut -d\ -f 3); d=$(echo $y | cut -d\ -f 4); [ "$a" == "$d" -a "$b" == "$c" ] && echo $a $b; done <<< "$(echo -e $l)"|grep -v '^$'|sort -u | while read x; do grep "$x" *; done Marius -- Public Key at http://www.genone.de/info/gpg-key.pub In the beginning, there was nothing.
