After and emerge --clean rsync tonight, emerge -pu world spews some errors but continues normally. I did some searching and found it was DirectFB-0.9.10. Here is the spew: # emerge -p DirectFB These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies \!!! depgraph.create() error: string format: {'/': 'sys-devel/perl gif?

[ebuild U ] dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.10 to / I looked at the ebuild where it says the error is and it looks ok. I have not tryed installing it because if the dependency check has errors I dont want to install it and mess up my system. Im assigning to seemant because he's all over the Changelog.
good call -- I made a typo in the mpeg? depend item. thanks for catching that, please emerge rsync and you'll have the nice ebuild now :)
