After my daily emerge sync i got a message that there was a new version of portage available. Without checking I did emerge portage, which installed portage-2.0.47-r7. after that, i tried emerge -up world - portage quit midst in the calculating process without any message: trauma portage # emerge -up world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies -trauma portage # so I tried, in that order emerge sync regenworld cd /usr/portage/; rm -r * emerge sync emerge portage-2.0.47-r8 emerge sync (disabling of PORTDIR_OVERLAY in make.conf) emerge portage emerge sync but after every step a "emerge --debug --verbose -up world" still crashed without any additional output. Oh, and I did etc-update with exception of make.conf, in which I only have useflags, mirrors and nothing special set. So what should I do now?

The same just happed to me, using portage 2.0.47-r7
I have the same problem and had it with portage 2.0.46-r12 too. emerge -up world worked this morning, I then tried to emerge mozilla which failed on a digest problem with xloadimage. After that emerge --anythingatall world producest the same results as described in this bug. other things still work - like emerge -u system. // blinx
mod_php seems to have caused this ... there was an invalid entry in DEPEND ... basically it looked like this: SRC_URI="package ) package"
unmerging mod_php solved the problem for me. thanks Nicholas! bye, Alessandro
opened #16761 for mod_php about this problem.
Just to make it clear: this seems to be fixed (it's gone after an "emerge sync") and you don't have to unmerge mod_php. -> Please close this. PS: I deleted the dep-cache under /var/cahce/edb/dep before syncing. You shouldn't have to.

Ok. Portage reports errors sanely for this now. fixed in cvs for 2.0.47-r9
mass cleaning my bugs
