It must complete emerging python after all. I have python installed, of course, and it is an attempt to remerge with a new USE flag. So I thought it's a normal bug. However, I'm still encountering with this error without the new USE flag. Thus, the severity could be more serious than Normal. emerge --info: Portage 2.2.00.9831-prefix (default-prefix/darwin/macos/10.4/x86, gcc-4.0.1, unavailable, 8.11.1 i386) ================================================================= System uname: 8.11.1 i386 i386 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 01:20:16 +0000 distcc 2.18.3-Apple.1 powerpc-apple-darwin8.0 (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r01.1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.10.1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r04.2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86-macos ~x86-macos" CBUILD="i686-apple-darwin8" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" CHOST="i686-apple-darwin8" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" DISTDIR="/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles" EPREFIX="/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer nostrip parallel-fetch preserve-libs sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.gg3.net/ ftp://ftp.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/GENTOO http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="C" LDFLAGS="" LINGUAS="ja en it" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/portage/local/layman/prefix-users /Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/portage/local/exp /Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/portage/local/forest" SYNC="svn+http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/alt/trunk/prefix-overlay" USE="aqua cjk coreaudio cracklib gif jpeg midi mmx mmxext ncurses nls objc objc++ png prefix readline sse sse2 ssl unicode x86-macos zlib" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="Darwin" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="Darwin" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="ja en it" USERLAND="GNU" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
This is a preserve-libs problem, it tries to save an entire directory, and the code doesn't like/expect that.
I tried to work around this problem in portage-2.2.00.9869. Not sure if it is enough. This is hard to fix at this stage, preserve-libs needs a redesign. Please try and report. Alternative is to disable the preserve-libs feature.

but does it work with preserve-libs enabled on the new portage?
Sorry for ambiguous sentence. I meant "both (-preserve-libs with old portage) and (new portage)". And yes, I removed "-preserve-libs" from make.conf when I tried new portage, thus preserve-libs was enabled as default, right?
yes, thanks. So the work-around sort of works ;)
