Re: [gentoo-user] equery caching?
Hi,
I did not use esync, I did not even know about it, and I do not recall
seeing it in install docs...
It is quite strange why equery (which is in gentoolkit package) relies
on eupdatedb (which is in esearch package), and gentoolkit does not
depend on esearch.
If it were not for your answer, I wouldn't have known about esync and
eupdatedb.
I think maybe the install docs should be updated, or at least put
esearch as a dependency of gentoolkit.
Regards, and thanks for your answer,
Catalin

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.

Hello,
I've just rebuilt my system without "motif" use flag (with emerge
--newuse, etc).
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

Re: [gentoo-user] equery caching?
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.
