I was trying to upgrade my gcc from version 4.1.1 to 4.3.3. Therefore I called: emerge -uv gcc and everything went well until emerge was trying to upgrade sys-apps/texinfo from version 4.8-r5 to 4.13. It seems like there is no configure script with this ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.(while upgrading gcc) 2.emerge -uv sys-apps/texinfo 3. Actual Results: # emerge -uv sys-apps/texinfo These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Ignoring. You have very old sys-apps/portage which doesn't support .tar.lzma files. You should update sys-apps/portage.
