second that. I get the same "unsubscriptable" error with emerge -p depclean. --debug does not seem to provide any clues on the problem (although I only looked at it briefly: its a lot of output!) email me (or just reply to this) to let me know how I can help to resolve this.
Created attachment 14893 [details, diff] patch against portage-2.0.49_pre13 This patch fixes the crash, don't know if it is the right way to do it but results are identical to 48-r1 (means depclean is still broken in general).
Seems to be fixed in 49_pre14.
Seems to work now (using Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.21-cube-2)).
closing as fixed
