Hi. It happened to me twice already: I have an overlay with an 'eclass' folder in it, and when I emerge something (that's in the normal tree), it inherited the class from the overlay instead (or in addition to) the one in the package's tree, and caused a compilation failure. As soon as I removed the overlay everything worked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an overlay with an 'eclass' dir in it. 2. Put a class which also exists in the normal tree, but that it different, in the eclass dir. 2. Emerge a package which uses this class 3. Watch it break Actual Results: gnome-vfs and styleclock (I assume other packages can break too) broke Expected Results: Portage should source the eclass only in the tree from which the compiling package is (or, always source the eclass from the normal tree and from the package's overlay's eclass) Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.12-nitro5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-nitro5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/gentoo/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/portage" SYNC="rsync://mirror.hamakor.org.il/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa apm arts avi bash-completion berkdb bidi bindist bitmap-fonts bmp bzlib cdparanoia cdr cracklib crypt cups curl dv dvd dvdr eds emboss encode exif fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb ftp gdbm gif gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal icq imagemagick imagemagik imap imlib jpeg kde lcms libcaca libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod mime mmx mozilla mp3 mpeg msn ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oscar pam pcre pdflib perl png posix python qt quicktime readline samba sasl scanner sdl sharedmem snmp sockets spell sse sse2 ssl svg svga sysfs tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vcd videos vorbis xine xml xml2 xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS
it's supposed to work this way
