Twice now today I hve had this problem while doing emerge -u. The first one was with gnome2, this one pasted below was doing -u world. It seems that the second pkg in the update fails right away (no deps file exists). If you rerun it works perfectly the second time. Snippet below: >>> emerge sys-devel/autoconf-2.53a to / Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1231, in ? mydepgraph.display(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 610, in merge retval=portage.doebuild(y,"merge",myroot,edebug) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 1058, in doebuild returnme.append(mysplit[0]) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/cache/edb/dep/dep-autoconf-2.53a.ebuild'
Will be fixed in the next (after 2.0.4) portage release.
