This is what I get for every single program in different phases (depending on package and if I am on an X terminal or not) since the upgrade to above version. Reproducable in a virtual machine (yes, the one from LinuxTag :) and on a "normal" system, both with Windows Server 2008 and Interix 6.0 * The ebuild phase 'postrm' has exited unexpectedly. This type of behavior * is known to be triggered by things such as failed variable assignments * (bug #190128) or bad substitution errors (bug #200313). Normally, before * exiting, bash should have displayed an error message above. If bash did * not produce an error message above, it's possible that the ebuild has * called `exit` when it should have called `die` instead. This behavior * may also be triggered by a corrupt bash binary or a hardware problem * such as memory or cpu malfunction. If the problem is not reproducible or * it appears to occur randomly, then it is likely to be triggered by a * hardware problem. If you suspect a hardware problem then you should try * some basic hardware diagnostics such as memtest. Please do not report * this as a bug unless it is consistently reproducible and you are sure * that your bash binary and hardware are functioning properly. * The 'postrm' phase of the 'media-libs/libpng-1.2.37' package has failed * with exit value 35584. * * The problem occurred while executing the ebuild file named * 'libpng-1.2.37.ebuild' located in the '/opt/gentoo/var/db/pkg/media- * libs/libpng-1.2.37' directory. If necessary, manually remove the * environment.bz2 file and/or the ebuild file located in that directory. * * Removal of the environment.bz2 file is preferred since it may allow the * removal phases to execute successfully. The ebuild will be sourced and * the eclasses from the current portage tree will be used when necessary. * Removal of the ebuild file will cause the pkg_prerm() and pkg_postrm()
oh man - you just hit a bug i've been hunting for days now. 1) do you have a snapshot you can revert to? if yes, revert, sync, and do: emerge -v1 i6fork (close all shells, and re-open them) emerge -v1 bash (close all shells again, and re-open) emerge -vuD system world (or whatever) if no... phew... let's see... check wether there is a /opt/gentoo/bin/bash.removedbyportage* file. if yes move it back to /opt/gentoo/bin/bash, overwrite the existing. comment out the LD_PRELOAD= in /opt/gentoo/etc/profile.env and /opt/gentoo/etc/env.d/00i6fork. (close all shells and re-open) (proceed as described above when reverting to the snapshot...) hope that works... further help would require a hands-on i guess ;) damn - i knew this bug would hunt me down.... :( btw. portage is not the bad one - i6fork is the one having a problem. but re-installing is not that easy since it is more or less viral - it infects your environment through LD_PRELOAD, and makes sure you cannot unset it by adding itself back on every exec - thats to fix the totally broken fork in interix 6. additional to the LD_PRELOAD, bash 4 directly links to the library - just to make sure and also catch the login shell, where LD_PRELOAD is not yet set. although it is technically fixed, i'll leave this bug open, until you made it :)

You should add the i6fork thing to the documentation, so people know early on what this library is about.
