Code: | <snip>
>>> No packages selected for removal by depclean
Packages installed: 1946
Packages in world: 445
Packages in system: 43
Required packages: 1946
Number removed: 0
# cd /var/db/pkg; ls -1d */*|wc -l
1946
# eix -I#|wc -l
1855
# |
...it seems eix is omitting some things. This invocation: Code: | # eix '-I*' --format '<installedversions:NAMEVERSION>' |wc -l
1945
# | copied from 'man eix' gives me the same form of output and almost entirely the same results as the 'ls' command. Dumping both into files and diffing them reveals the one package that is no longer in portage, but isn't unmerged either, and eix decided not to show it. _________________ quasi-religious systemic wrongism pessimizes indiscriminately

@dbtx
my result:
Code: | root@localhost /home/guyuming # EIX_LIMIT=0 eix '-I*' --format '<installedversions:NAMEVERSION>'|wc -l
1031
root@localhost /home/guyuming # EIX_LIMIT=0 eix '-I*' --world --format '<installedversions:NAMEVERSION>'|wc -l

The problem is almost certainly your usage of the '#' option. That tells eix to only report package names, so packages with multiple installed slots are only reported once. |

By trimming off package versions with Code: | /var/db/pkg $ ls -1d */* | sed -e 's/\([^.]*\).*/\1/' -e 's/\(.*\)-.*/\1/' > /tmp/pkgs-ls | and using 'uniq', I can almost reproduce the shorter list but it gives 1857 instead of 1855. I'm not sure about that; the sed line is definitely slightly wrong because things like 'acct-group/locate-0' get through. But with 'uniq -d' I see there are only 16 such repeated package names, and the first one, app-doc/phrack, has 70 slots installed. Neat. _________________ quasi-religious systemic wrongism pessimizes indiscriminately |
