I had a slightly different revdep-rebuild problem and this discussion was |
| 2 |
the impetus to uncover the cause. The problem I had was that every time |
| 3 |
I ran revdep-rebuild it wanted to rebuild a package that I had removed |
| 4 |
and the package name was really weird. At the end of the run it emitted |
| 5 |
this command which I have reformatted for easy reading: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
emerge --oneshot |
| 8 |
=media-tv/-MERGING-mythtv-0.20_p11626 |
| 9 |
=media-tv/-MERGING-mythtv-0.20_p12172 |
| 10 |
=app-cdr/cdrkit-1.1.6 |
| 11 |
=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.10.1 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I didn't have any problem with the last two items, but I could not find |
| 14 |
the weird -MERGING-mythtv packages. I did remember having an emerge |
| 15 |
problem with MythTV when I first started to try it. After looking around |
| 16 |
and not finding a likely suspect, I ran strace -f -o /tmp/revdep.out |
| 17 |
revdep-rebuild. After it hung I searched through all the open system |
| 18 |
calls and finally found it checking out files in |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
/var/db/pkg/media-tv. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In the directory media-tv were subdirectories with the -MERGING name. |
| 23 |
I removed all the directories in media-tv and reran revdep-rebuild and |
| 24 |
all was well. |

Thanks for the help! |
