Bug 47108 – Portage broken after "emerge sync"

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 47063
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Simons 2004-04-07 08:30:50 UTC]

I have just run an "emerge sync", but after re-building the cache, emerge aborted with an error. Now, emerge fails with this error all the time, I cannot run it anymore! Does anyone know how to fix this?

research:/home/simons# emerge sync
Traceback (most recent call last):

    elif myportapi.match(x):

emerge info doesn't work either. :-(

here a quickfix:

goto line 3038 of /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py:
and change to this:

elif myportapi and myportapi.match(x):
