When emerging a large number of packages, emerge spits out a Python traceback. This only happens with a large number of packages; emerging each package individually (using eix -I, and bash for loops) does not cause this error. I've moved back a version of portage for now, which fixes this problem. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Just exited normally?

Created attachment 261301 [details] output of command
Now we are on 2.2.01.17901, can you test?
(In reply to comment #2) > Now we are on 2.2.01.17901, can you test? > Test the version that was broken, or whether 2.2.01.17901 works? Because we only package.mask'd the broken version, the current one seems to be working fine.
then it seems safe to assume it was fixed already, thanks
