What do you get for these commands? readlink -f /home/gentoo/gentoo-x86 readlink -f /home/gentoo/gentoo-x86/net-im/wildfire
They are actual directorys humpback@sam ~ $ readlink -f /home/gentoo/gentoo-x86 /home/gentoo/gentoo-x86 humpback@sam ~ $ readlink -f /home/gentoo/gentoo-x86/net-im/wildfire /home/gentoo/gentoo-x86/net-im/wildfire
I'm guessing that $PORTDIR/profiles/package.mask doesn't exist? That's what repoman uses to identify the root of the portage tree.
I had removed package.mask Solved. Thanks m8
