Doing an "emerge gnome" produces the following error: localhost root # emerge gnome Calculating dependencies -Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1227, in ? if not mydepgraph.create(mytype+" "+portage.root+" "+mykey,None,"--onlydeps" not in myopts): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 447, in create if not self.create(mynew,mybigkey): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 447, in create if not self.create(mynew,mybigkey): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 391, in create edepend=portage.db[myroot]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mykey,portage.auxdbkeys) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 2601, in aux_get mycent=open(mydbkey,"r") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/cache/edb/dep/gnome-base/control-center-1.4.0.5-r1' localhost root # I've tried to "emerge rsync" and then re "emerge gnome". This causes the same error. After asking on #gentoo, I tried unmasking gnome2, and that appeared to install w/out actually downloading or compiling the source code! So I unmerged that, re-did "emerge rsync" to end up at the above error message again. HELP!
According to drobbins this appears of two reasons: 1) not unmasking gnome 2 stuff after emerge rsync 2) broken rsync mirror which have corrupted the contents in the control-center ebuild
