Description Guilherme Amadio gentoo-dev

I think that this difference is what causes trouble:

+src_compile(){
@@ -76,7 +75,8 @@
 		$(use_with python)           \
 		$(use_with readline)         \
 		$(use_with readline history) \
-		$(use_enable ipv6)"
+		$(use_enable ipv6) \
+		PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES=$(python_get_sitedir)"

This is in src_configure, and assumes you already have python.
When I first started my prefix, src_configure failed because it couldn't find python.
I just installed an early ebuild that didn't have that last line, and then emerged portage as
a workaround.

Reproducible: Always

This must be a bootstrapping problem, because I already fixed this.

We didn't bump the bootstrap image though.  If you want to "try" it, use latest_tree instead of tree during the bootstrap.

bootstrap image has been replaced, so this issue should be fixed now
