hi, I am green-hand of g-ctan user. My computer OS is : gentoo+kde4.7+texlive2011+g-ctan2011.1 .
texlive was installed by using
Code:
emerge texlive
command.

Yesterday, I found that I need the cprotect package used in my beamer. So I am puzzled that I can not install this package. The
Code:
g-ctan -l | grep cprotect
command result shows cprotect is not exist.

However, in the file named texlive.tlpdb ("/var/cache/g-ctan/texlive.tlpdb"), there are :
Code:
name cprotect
category Package
revision 21209
...


this is phenomenon:
use the command (referend from create_package_list() function ):
Code:

grep -C 1 "^category Package" texlive.tlpdb | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e "s/Package//" -e '/^[ ]*$/d' > package.names

will create the file named package.names which size is 67.8KB
meanwile, use
Code:
g-ctan -u
will create the file named package.names which size is 9.8KB

I read the file named common"("/usr/share/g-ctan/ common" ),there are:
Code:
# TeXLive has been released from this revision in its repository (but
# add 1 to make checks easier, everything before is not newer than the
# things shipped with the release.
G_RELEASE_REVISION=23181

this is the reason that I can not install a package?

I do the following steps:
Code:

grep -C 1 "^category Package" texlive.tlpdb | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e "s/Package//" -e '/^[ ]*$/d' > package.names

Code:
g-ctan -e cprotect

the prompt is
Code:
* Creating ebuild for g-ctan/cprotect ...

* Version available in package repository is as new as the one shipped with TeXLive, refetch database for update


Could anyone help me ?

FYI, I posted today this bug.
Hopefully, g-ctan will improve, though I still haven't found a way to install new packages, and you?
