Re: [gentoo-user] equery caching?

[Catalin Grigoroscuta]

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. catalin ~ # equery hasuse motif [ Searching for USE flag motif in all categories among: ]  * installed packages [I--] [  ] app-editors/emacs-21.4-r1 (21) [I--] [  ] app-text/xpdf-3.00-r8 (0) [I--] [  ] x11-terms/rxvt-2.7.10-r2 (0) catalin ~ # equery uses emacs [ Searching for packages matching emacs... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend    : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf              ] [           : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for app-editors/emacs-21.4-r1 ]  U I  + + X          : Adds support for X11  - - Xaw3d      : Adds support of the 3d athena widget set  - - gnome      : Adds GNOME support  + + leim       : Adds input methods support to Emacs  - - lesstif    : Use lesstif over openmotif in cases where a program supports both  - - motif      : Adds motif support (x11-libs/openmotif x11-libs/lesstif)  + + nls        : <unknown>  - - nosendmail : If you do not want to install any MTA Wade Brown wrote: 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.

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 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
