Was trying to emerge sendmail (need to mail anyway). When it comes to emerging hesiod (right when it starts) (dunno what it is) and got some nice messages back: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1862, in ? mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1098, in merge y=portage.portdb.findname(x[2]) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3032, in findname return self.root+"/"+mysplit[0]+"/"+psplit[0]+"/"+mysplit[1]+".ebuild" TypeError: unsubscriptable object
What version of portage? I guess your system isn't in this state any longer? If it is please do the following and post it here: ls -lR /var/db/pkg > pkg.list
no longer in this state
i am now happy using postfix
Probably fixed in another related bug.
