There is no "parent" file located in the /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop/ directory. The 2008.0/desktop directory was the only one that seems to be missing it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop /etc/make.profile 2.emerge gentoo-sources 3. Actual Results: (chroot) livecd desktop # emerge -pv gentoo-sources These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies | !!!

OK. What does the missing parent have to do with the stages? There's no tree in the stage tarballs. Also, there *is* a parent file in that location. http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop/ It's been there for more than 2 months.
