a traceback alone is not very valueable. How do we reproduce this and what command were you running?
and portage version, etc.
Doing a binary only emerge.... emerge -pgK sys-fs/e2fsprogs running with portage-2.2.01.17721
It's pretty easy to see that "message" isn't a valid target for the str() operator, but I'm not sure what the intention is with this line of code.
Upgrading to a full Gentoo problem as I can see this in x86 gentoo too.

The _get_masking_status() in the prefix branch is appending strings where it's supposed to append instance of _MaskReason: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=blob;f=pym/_emerge/depgraph.py;h=18e29996925059ff72e28fc6508e17be76f719be;hb=refs/heads/prefix#l5923
Thanks Zac! I hope this will do: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commitdiff;h=864684b7b0087d32b7f6881e63352163d4f80ff4
Yes, that fixes it. The knock on problem now is that in the binhost's Packages file, there seems to be several packages missing the EPREFIX: keyword as now the command I used in comment #1 reports.... !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-fs/e2fsprogs" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.12-r1::gentoo_prefix (masked by: missing EPREFIX) Looks like a lot of the older packages have it, but most recent ones dont, as though it got broken somewhere in recent portages. Looking at that package in the Packages file shows no EPREFIX line, and if I add it I get the same problem, so where can I fix this ?
ok, committed in portage-2.2.01.17757 Need to look at that EPREFIX thing, why it isn't stored any more. It's stored in the environment bit of the xpak bit. Not sure if that can easily be edited.
Original bug report fixed.
