Bug 12948 – Portage 2.0.46-r4 traceback events

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description geoffrey 2002-12-30 11:23:59 UTC]

Whenever I try to run an update with portage-2.0.46-r4, it fails. This happens
consistently across several different x86 systems. This happens regardless of
whether it is run by root, or through sudo. Here is what happens:

#emerge -u -p world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
