Bug #4799: portage provider incorrectly fails when eix finds no packages
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4799
Author: Lance Albertson
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Category: Gentoo
Target version:
Affected version: 0.25.5
Keywords:
Branch:
If the portage provider tries to search of a package that does not exist,
errors out and fails with the following error:
err: //rrdtool::python/Package[rrdtool-python]: Failed to retrieve current
state of resource: Execution of '/usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages
--stable --format <category> <name> [<installedversions:LASTVERSION>]
[<bestversion:LASTVERSION>] <homepage> <description>
--exact --name rrdtool-python' returned 1:
Eix will return 1 if it finds no packages by default. You can change the value
eix returns by editing /etc/eixrc and add:
NOFOUND_STATUS=0
When you do that and try running it again, you get a more useful error message:
err: //rrdtool::python/Package[rrdtool-python]: Failed to retrieve current
state of resource: No package found with the specified name [<unspecified
category>/rrdtool-python]
However, this brings in a whole new problem related to issue #3000. The real
fix should deal with exit status in a saner manner possibly similar to how the
dpkg provider works.
