Bugzilla Bug 71448

Gentoo now supports "stacked profiles" that is, the profiles that follow the
new layout of the /usr/portage/profiles directory, for instance
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3 (supported by Portage 2.0.51 or
later).

Ufed expects certain files to be in "/etc/make.profile" (symlink pointing to
the selected profile) for example: "use.defaults" or "use.mask". Because of the
new stacked profiles these files may be defined in some of the parent
directories of the profile. So ufed can't open these files and fails!

(A possible solution is to try opening the file in the selected profile
directory. If the file isn't there, move to the parent dir and try opening it
there. If that fails go to the next parent dir and so on and so on.)

Reproducible: Always

already fixed.  try emerging the ~x86 version by adding this to
/etc/portage/package.keywords:

=app-portage/ufed-0.35-r1 ~x86

I am also suffering from this bug. I upgraded to 0.35-r1, and here are the
results I get:


tom root # qpkg -I -v ufed

Sometimes I can run it, and it works, but most times it just comes back with
this error.

I can confirm that behaviour ufed-0.35-r1,
What info might be relevant/do you need?
