Bug 152539 – emerge fails with Key Error

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 147625
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sumit Khanna 2006-10-23 04:42:49 UTC]

After the last portage upgrade to portage-2.1.2_pre3-r6, I can no longer run the emerge command. I get a series of aux_get(): (0) Error in <some ebuild> followed by a python KeyError:

#emerge -auDN world

<see attachment>


-----------emerge info---------------
# emerge --info
!!! No gcc found. You probably need to 'source /etc/profile'

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-10-23 04:49:45 UTC]

Are you using nss_ldap?

[Comment 3 Sumit Khanna 2006-10-23 19:36:10 UTC]

Yes I am. And now, if I remove the ldap entries from /etc/nsswitch.conf, portage works again. What gives?

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-10-24 00:20:31 UTC]

Reopen to dupe.
