Description Marc-Éric Dupuis 2003-09-29 08:01:23 UTC 
When I do emerge rsync everything in the rsync seems to be going fine but when the time comes to update the portage cache I get the following error message:

>>> Updating Portage cache... /!!! eclass 'ion' in 'x11-wm/ion-devel-20030327' does not exist:                                                                  ...done!

I tried re-emerging portage and also tried different rsync mirrors as suggested about a month ago in the forums for a similar problem without success.

Here are my emerge info:

Ooops. Thanks. Fixed by removing the offending (out-of-date) ebuilds.
