1 Hello,
2
3 After a sync, portage wants to upgrade pykde from the currently installed
4 3.16.0-r1 (which is now masked) to 3.16.2, but source configuration fails
5 with an error:
6
7 [...]
8 Creating top level Makefile...
9 Creating pykdeconfig.py...
10 [...]
11 sipkdecoreNETRootInfo3.cpp: In constructor ‘sipNETRootInfo3::sipNETRootInfo3

21 Looking at b.g.o I see that PyQt is sometimes implicated in pykde
22 difficulties, so I tried that tack. This is what I found:
23
24 prh@wstn ~ $ equery l PyQT
25 [ Searching for package 'PyQT' in all categories among: ]
26 * installed packages
27 prh@wstn ~ $eix pyqt
28 [I] dev-python/PyQt (3.17.4@14/11/08): A set of Python bindings for Qt3
29 [N] dev-python/PyQt4 (4.3.3): PyQt is a set of Python bindings for the Qt
30 toolkit
31 Found 2 matches.
32 prh@wstn ~ $ emerge -pv PyQT
33 [...]
34 emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "PyQT".
35
36 Summary: eix thinks I have dev-python/PyQT-3.17.4 installed, but equery and
37 portage think there's no such package as PyQT. This has been happening for
38 a few days now, with a daily emerge --sync and update-eix.
39
40 Do I have a corrupted package database? How can I get out of this?
