When I do an emerge -uD world -p I get the error below. Emerge -uD system works as does emerge -u world. I have run revdep-rebuild and that didn't fix it. I have had no problems with portage until I upgraded to current version (see below). Then I had errors with emerge -S which didn't work. I upgraded because the upgrade was presented as necessary - I do not run ~x86.

Corruption in the cache... Just do the following. We'll work a fix in to catch this for the future. rm /var/cache/edb/*pickle* /var/cache/edb/*mtime*
Thank you. That did it.
Whoops, spoke too soon. It went through calculating dependencies and performing global updates. What next? root@strider root # emerge -uD world -p These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies \Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2170, in ? if not mydepgraph.xcreate(myaction): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1011, in xcreate myeb=portage.portdb.xmatch("bestmatch-visible",mydep) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4067, in xmatch myval=best(self.xmatch("match-visible",None,mydep,mykey)) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4078, in xmatch myval=self.match2(mydep,mykey,self.xmatch("list-visible",None,mydep,mykey)) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4064, in xmatch myval=self.gvisible(self.visible(self.cp_list(mykey))) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 4147, in gvisible myaux=db["/"]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mycpv, ["KEYWORDS"]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3761, in aux_get myebuild,in_overlay=self.findname2(mycpv) ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack
check your PORTDIR_OVERLAY for misnamed ebuilds
Found it. It was jack-cvs-0.91.ebuild. I renamed it to jack-cvs-0.91.save and not things look like they may work. Why did emerge suddenly decide to complain? Also what is wrong with the ebuild name. I've had this since 1-December or longer?
The name looks right indeed. I just put an ebuild with the same name in my overlay and didn't get an error message, strange. Also on a quick scan I don't see a code path in findname2() that results in returning less than 2 values.
It seems to be solved. I'm closing this bug. If there is problem yet, feel free to open.
