I have a BINHOST setup. When trying to install the binary package, the emerge of the media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps package fails. See SNIPPET 1. I am able to build the package from source. But I get a warning, see SNIPPET 2. This bug is most likely related to #172874; however, the special problem here is the difference between source and binary install. ++++++++++++++ BEGIN SNIPPET 1 ++++++++++++++ >>> Installing (3 of 15) media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.20100223 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/portage/bin/emerge", line 43, in <module> retval = emerge_main() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/main.py", line 1755, in emerge_main myopts, myaction, myfiles, spinner) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/actions.py", line 439, in action_build retval = mergetask.merge() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Scheduler.py", line 1198, in merge rval = self._merge() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Scheduler.py", line 1542, in _merge self._main_loop() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Scheduler.py", line 1684, in _main_loop self._poll_loop() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/PollScheduler.py", line 192, in _poll_loop handler(f, event) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/SpawnProcess.py", line 205, in _output_handler self._unregister_if_appropriate(event) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AbstractPollTask.py", line 61, in _unregister_if_appropriate self.wait() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AsynchronousTask.py", line 41, in wait self._wait_hook() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AsynchronousTask.py", line 123, in _wait_hook self._exit_listener_stack.pop()(self) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Binpkg.py", line 302, in _extractor_exit self.wait() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AsynchronousTask.py", line 41, in wait self._wait_hook() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AsynchronousTask.py", line 123, in _wait_hook self._exit_listener_stack.pop()(self) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/CompositeTask.py", line 133, in _default_final_exit return self.wait() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AsynchronousTask.py", line 41, in wait self._wait_hook() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AsynchronousTask.py", line 123, in _wait_hook self._exit_listener_stack.pop()(self) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Scheduler.py", line 1524, in _extract_exit self._build_exit(build) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Scheduler.py", line 1521, in _build_exit self._schedule() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/PollScheduler.py", line 103, in _schedule return self._schedule_tasks() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Scheduler.py", line 1717, in _schedule_tasks if q.schedule(): File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/SequentialTaskQueue.py", line 55, in schedule task.start() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/AsynchronousTask.py", line 23, in start self._start() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/PackageMerge.py", line 43, in _start self.returncode = self.merge.merge() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/MergeListItem.py", line 147, in merge retval = self._install_task.install() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/Binpkg.py", line 325, in install retval = merge.execute() File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/EbuildMerge.py", line 26, in execute blockers=self.find_blockers) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 4034, in merge mydbapi=mydbapi, prev_mtimes=prev_mtimes) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 3885, in merge mydbapi=mydbapi, prev_mtimes=prev_mtimes) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 3906, in _merge cleanup=cleanup, mydbapi=mydbapi, prev_mtimes=prev_mtimes) File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 3018, in treewalk eerror(portage._merge_unicode_error(unicode_errors)) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_merge_unicode_error' ++++++++++++++ END SNIPPET 1 ++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ BEGIN SNIPPET 2 ++++++++++++++ * Messages for package media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.20100223: * This package installs one or more file names containing characters that * do not match your current locale settings.

After setting an UTF-8 locale and rebooting, I was able to install the binary package.
So you solved the problem by basically following the advice in the build output. Where is the bug?
I guess your BINHOST client system should match your BINHOST staging system.
