Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2017-10-16 02:43:03 UTC 
It would be nice if emerge gave a more informative error message when it finds a file where a directory is expected:

>   File "_emerge/Scheduler.py", line 1751, in _task 
>     previous_cpv = [x for x in vardb.match(pkg.slot_atom) \ 
>   File "portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 599, in match 
>     self.cp_list(mydep.cp, use_cache=use_cache))) 
>   File "portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 466, in cp_list 
>     self.aux_get(cpv, self._aux_cache_keys))) 
>   File "portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 788, in aux_get 
>     mydata.update(self._aux_get(mycpv, aux_keys, st=mydir_stat)) 
>   File "portage/dbapi/vartree.py", line 820, in _aux_get 
>     raise KeyError(mycpv) 
> KeyError: 'x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.1.1-r1'
