Created attachment 104403 [details, diff] fix package move code and automatically handle corruption in the unmerge phase This patch should solve the traceback. If it is saved as /tmp/bug_158558.patch then it can be applied as follows: cd /usr/lib/portage patch -p0 < /tmp/bug_158558.patch (In reply to comment #2) > It doesn't fix it for my similar issue with -r7. The solution I used was to > remove the offending packages with offending atoms (they're not in portage > anymore). Generally, installed packages that have invalid atoms should be unmerged (or reinstalled).

(In reply to comment #8) > Sorry for the spam, I shouldn't have cancelled it ... Is this the expected > behaviour? I have added the missing quote, though. That's expected if the ebuild is corrupt for some reason. I suppose we can show a message giving the user some advice in cases like that.
(In reply to comment #6) > Still, please improve other cases, like "-u", etc. It's fixed in svn r5339 to ignore invalid dependencies for packages that are being replaced.
(In reply to comment #8) > !!! error sourcing ebuild > !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if > relevant. > > !!! FAILED prerm: 1 In svn r5340 I've added a message telling the user where the ebuild is and advising them that if necessary the ebuild can be removed in order to skip the removal phases.
