Portage 2.0.48-r4 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) this is fixed as said in comment now does portage.py line 3891 make plural line 3893 make plural line 3924 make plural change getbinpkg to getbinpkgs
after I was able to fix those line then I could emerge portage-2.0.48-r5 which seems to have these fixes however only diff is: 6c6 < VERSION="2.0.48-r4" --- > VERSION="2.0.48-r5" 3924c3924 < self.remotepkgs = getbinpkgs.dir_get_metadata(settings["PORTAGE_BINHOST"], chunk_size=chunk_size) --- > self.remotepkgs = getbinpkg.dir_get_metadata(settings["PORTAGE_BINHOST"], chunk_size=chunk_size) not sure if the new one (bottom) needs the plural there sorry to bother, you guys fixed too quick, damn you responsive bug fixers.... but since I could not emerge previously because the bug, it might suck for others gary
Simplist way is to use a rescue portage.
