  • [gentoo-user] Portage detects fake "world file problems" and packages t

    This is weird. When doing:

    emerge -auDU @world

    Portage says:

    ============
    !!! Problems have been detected with your world file
    !!! Please run emaint --check world


    !!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all
    !!! masked or don't exist:
    media-sound/pavucontrol media-sound/pulseeffects sys-block/gparted

    Nothing to merge; quitting.
    ============

    My world file is fine and "emaint --check world" doesn't find anything.
    Also, all these packages that portage claims are masked or don't exist
    are not masked and they exist.

    This is on ~amd64.

    I'm stumped :-/

    If nothing else, I would start by adding a --verbose to that emerge
    command. It may just confuse you worse, but it might add some useful
    info.

    Did that already. No additional info is shown.

    Have you edited your world file manually? I wonder if you could have
    introduced some non-ASCII characters or changed line endings - something
    that portage objects to but emaint doesn't.

    If that sounds like clutching at straws, it's because it is.

    Have you edited your world file manually? I wonder if you could have introduced some non-ASCII characters or changed line endings - something
    that portage objects to but emaint doesn't.

    I checked and there's nothing weird in there. I even deleted the world
    file, and then recreated it by doing "emerge --noreplace" all these
    packages. Portage then re-created the world file.

    Same result.

    I then spend some time trying to find the packages that cause the
    problem. I tracked it down to media-sound/pulseeffects. If I remove just
    that one package from the world file, then the error message is gone,
    but also "emerge -uDU @world" is now much faster.

    This package is probably triggering a portage bug.

    It was a bug and it's fixed now: https://bugs.gentoo.org/830881
