|
|
Is there a way to list all the packages for which the warning/error "emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy" would occur, i.e. all packages for which there is no ebuild for the installed version of that package?
The context is an old laptop I hadn't updated for a while and where I tried to be (ahem) smart and cut some corners... Now I try to update @world, find this message for a single package, update the dependent package, rerun emerge @world and bump into the next case. It would save me a lot of time where portage resolving dependencies if I could just create a list of all these packages instead. I found emerge -ep @world, which seems to remerge my whole system and eix --installed --and --not --installed-from-overlay gentoo --and --not --installed-in-some-overlay, which doesn't seem to do what I want either. emerge -vac @unavailable seems to list a different set of ebuilds...
I find 164 hits for discussions in which the phrase "emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy" occurs, but never in the title, so they seem to be about a specific package and how to solve that particular situation (at least of the hits I checked, which wasn't all of them). My question is about the generic case. |

i might be misunderstanding you, but is the output of `eix -te` what you're after? Specifically, the section following the line "The following installed packages are not in the database"? |

Thanks, but I think this lists packages and package versions in /etc/portage/package.* that no longer exist. I'm looking for installed packages for which an ebuild is no longer present on my system. I just noticed that revdep-rebuild -- -vta does that as well:
Code: | * Warning: "media-gfx/gphoto2-2.5.27" ebuild not found.. |
gphoto2-2.5.27 is still installed on my system (but not for much longer I hope), but media-gfx/gphoto2-2.5.28-r1 is currently the only available ebuild in portage. (This may now be the only example left on my system.) |

It does indeed do what you describe in your first sentence, but as i wrote in my previous message, after that output, it provides a section titled "The following installed packages are not in the database", listing installed packages without an ebuild in the `gentoo` tree. If there aren't any, it has a final line that says:
Code: | The names of all installed packages are in the database. |
If you want to check for installed packages without an ebuild in any of the non-`gentoo` repos/overlays that you have enabled, you'd need to add the `-R` option. |
