Hi there. It's been about 3 or 4 weeks since my last emerge sync && emerge world. I ran it today. It said there's a new version of porage available. So I did "emerge -uD portage" It merged 5 packages. One was portage, I believe one was gcc. The result is that I get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 14, in ? import portage File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6048, in ? settings.regenerate() # XXX: Regenerate use after we get a vartree -- GLOBAL File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1384, in regenerate self.configdict["auto"]["USE"]=autouse(db[root]["vartree"]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1122, in autouse myresult=dep_check(mydep,myvartree.dbapi,None,use="no") File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3301, in dep_check mylist=flatten(dep_listcleanup(dep_zapdeps(mysplit,mysplit2))) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3044, in dep_zapdeps myresult=dep_zapdeps(unreduced[x],reduced[x]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3030, in dep_zapdeps elif myportapi.match(x): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'match' whenever I cast the emerge command. Someone suggested to run the python-updater, but this one calls portageq, which gives out the same errors again. So I replaced the line PORTDIR=`portageq portdir` by PORTDIR=/usr/portage which at least had the result that it said its upgrading some stuff from python 2.2 to 2.3 (IIRC), but nothing really changed. PLEASE HELP ME!! thank you! regards, Oli
Seems python was not merged, here's some stuff from the portage log: Started emerge on: Feb 05, 2004 22:15:28 *** emerge --update --deep portage >>> emerge (1 of 5) sys-devel/gcc-3.3.2-r6 to / === (1 of 5) Cleaning (sys-devel/gcc-3.3.2-r6) === (1 of 5) Compiling/Merging (sys-devel/gcc-3.3.2-r6) === (1 of 5) Post-Build Cleaning (sys-devel/gcc-3.3.2-r6) >>> AUTOCLEAN: sys-devel/gcc === Unmerging...

I now remember, that there was an error when merging portage-2.0.50_pre20. It could not calculate some counter or something like that. It said "that is a problem!"
Another one: I used the rescue kit for portage, so I'm back to the 2.0.49-r21 version. Works fine. regards, Oli
.50_pre20 is rather old, closing (can't see how it is possible w/ .50-r9's code)
