Holas,
I decided to perform my (semi) monthly `emerge -a --depclean`, and ran into a
problem.
Part of the cleaning involved
-- media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad
selected: 0.6.4
protected: none
omitted: 0.8.11
Well, doing this bails with
/var/db/pkg/media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad-0.6.4/gst-plugins-mad-0.6.4.ebuild:
line 10: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/var/db/pkg/media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad-0.6.4/gst-plugins-mad-0.6.4.ebuild:
line 12: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Not too surprising, since the ebuild looks like
# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
#
$Header:
/home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad/gst-plugins-mad-0.6.4.ebuild,v

inherit gst-plugins
KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc alpha hppa amd64 ia64"
IUSE=""
DEPEND="media-sound/madplay^A
and that's it. Re-sync'ing didn't help. Looking at my weekly backups, the
ebuild looks the same. Google didn't find any ebuild this old. gentoo.org
doesn't have an ebuild this old. OK. It's busted. Furthermore, eix now
shows
crichton WORD # eix gst-plugins-mad
Garbage at end of version string: ortage_lockfile
Garbage at end of version string: ortage_lockfile
* media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad
Available versions: 0.8.8 ~0.8.9 0.8.10 0.8.11 ~0.8.12 0.10.3
Installed: 0.6.4 0.6.4.portage_lockfile 0.8.11
Accepting that's it broken, how can I fix it? How can I make portage forget
that 0.6.4 is installed?
Thanks.
Peter
