I changed the use-flags of my remote-workstation from -X to X and wanted to recompile all apps with the new setting. (emerge --update --deep --newuse world) About half of them went through straight, but one claims about a missing Makefile: >>> emerge (1 of 1) sci-biology/embassy-meme-2.3.1-r1 to / >>> md5 files ;-) embassy-meme-2.3.1-r1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-embassy-meme-2.3.1-r1 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) EMBOSS-2.10.0.tar.gz >>> md5 src_uri ;-) MEME-2.3.1.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1495: embassy-2.10_src_unpack: command not found >>> Source unpacked. /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1495: embassy-2.10_src_compile: command not found >>> Test phase [not enabled]: sci-biology/embassy-meme-2.3.1-r1 >>> Install embassy-meme-2.3.1-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/embassy-meme-2.3.1-r1/ image/ category sci-biology !!! ERROR: sci-biology/embassy-meme-2.3.1-r1 failed. !!! Function einstall, Line 526, Exitcode 1 !!! no Makefile found I tried pinning to a lower version (like 2.3.0) but it seems like there is no older version available... I also re-downloaded the distfile and completely uninstalled & tried to reinstall this app but to no avail. Like said: this app was installed before! But now - even after resetting the use-flag to -X it won't install. (which makes me think, the problem lies elsewhere) Confusingly, other apps compile fine... I posted the prob in the forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2608015. html#2608015) but i was directed to bugzilla by 'hjnenc'... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --update --deep --newuse world (or emerge embassy-meme) Actual Results: see above.

Thanks for reporting. This is my fault really, but it ought to be fixed now. Just sync your tree in an hour or so and try again.
