I received the error below while doing an emerge -uaD world on my system. I am not sure if this is a tomcat or portage error. I could not reporduce it as when I tried emerge -uaD world again it didn't select tomcat for re-installation. I tried emerge tomcat to see if it could be reproduced but it worked ok. Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -uaD world 2. 3.

Problem with the logic statement ... if objld == None: print "mydirs["+str(pos)+"]",mydirs[pos] print "obj",obj print "objld",objld if len(objld)>0: ... That's a bit wrong... either should be an elif, or a pos+=1; continue
Bug has been fixed and released in stable portages on or before 2.0.51-r2
