(0005491) skayser (administrator) 2009-01-18 18:14	Doh, forgot the version information again ... # pkginfo -x CSWpkgget CSWpkgget pkg_get - CSW version of automated package download tool (all) 4.0.1,REV=2008.12.15

(0005495) harpchad (reporter) 2009-01-21 19:09	This occurs for me as well when using the testing catalog. It looks like it's because the testing catalog does not have all packages in it, so get_remote_pkgversion returns null for the package version of packages it didn't find. This causes newer_rev to be called with a single argument (local revision, no remote revision). I attached a patch that makes get_remote_pkgversion return 0 for the revision when it doesn't find a revision in the catalog.

(0005590) phil (manager) 2009-02-28 17:02	i think this is either as chad says, or the LC_ALL bug/issue. I dont like chad's patch, because it IS an ERROR to have missing dependancies. so.. closing this. PS: at one point, I'm going to allow "shadow repository", which will fix this issue; you'll be able to set testing as that repository so it will all work out nicer in the future.
