Could you help me please! After emerge sync on Gentoo 1.4-rc2 the portage database seems broken. I try emerge -p system and get a mass of errors. Thanks for your convience! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge sync 2.emerge system 3. Actual Results: emerge -p system portage: Update type "slotmove" not recognized. These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

I saw this problem many times before. It should be fixed in the current portage. Could you try it? (You could install rescue portage. see ) I'm closing this bug. If there are any problems yet, please feel free to reopen.
