Description johnathan spectre 2002-06-27 09:47:10 UTC 
getting an error in what i'm assuming is portage trying to emerge gnome (2.0):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3188, in mergeme
   
self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,offset+x+"/",cfgfiledict,thismtime)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3188, in mergeme
   
self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,offset+x+"/",cfgfiledict,thismtime)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3188, in mergeme
   
self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,offset+x+"/",cfgfiledict,thismtime)

self.mergeme(srcroot,destroot,outfile,secondhand,offset+x+"/",cfgfiledict,thismtime)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3137, in mergeme
    if S_ISLNK(mymode):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/stat.py", line 61, in S_ISLNK
    return S_IFMT(mode) == S_IFLNK
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded


let me know if you need more log output..

Johnathon:

This sounds like it was problem between portage and the mirror not having the
files yet (?)

It sounds like your system is not happy with a lot of stuff right nowm done and
emerge -ue world lately?

I'd agree on this, seems like an unhealthy portage.
