Description:   Opened: 2004-01-01 11:46 0000 
When I do any emerge action that involves a packages that allegedly has syntac
errors, portage returns with errors. Emerging over allagedly "bad packages" (as
suggested in the forum) is not possible, since portage will die while trying to
calculate dependencies. Emerge actions on "good" packages work fine. 
Some "bad" packages include libtool and zlib.

So, for example:

"emerge search gnunet" works
"emerge -U world" doesn't work
"emerge zlib" doesn't work
"emerge search xmms" doesn't work because some XMMS plugins depend on zlib.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -U portage
3. emerge -p -U --debug world
Actual Results:  
bash-2.05b# emerge -p -U --debug world 
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options. 

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

------- Comment #1 From Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-01-05 19:02:45 0000 ------- 
that looks like a broken tree

------- Comment #2 From Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-01-06 03:02:50 0000 ------- 
As Marius said.

Reopen if sync'ing a fresh tree doesn't fix it.

------- Comment #3 From Benjamin Paul Kay 2004-01-06 15:38:09 0000 ------- 
Turns out the bug went away by simply rebooting the machine - whether or not
this was incidental is uncertain. The reboot was the first reboot since
upgrading portage from r19 to r20.

I did not the portage rescue program.

If a reboot is necessary to sync, fix, or whatever a damaged portage tree, this
could be a problem that needs to be addressed in future releases of portage.
