Whenever I run emerge I get some kind of odd error, although emerge seems to work fine. I can't locate where its coming from. staticwave ace # emerge -p kdebase mylines: ['\x00'] list index out of range mylines: ['\x00'] list index out of range These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

This seems to be breaking kde-related builds. kdenetwork and kaffeine report... configure: creating ./config.status Uhh. Malformed pattern in ./confstatC3NDC6/subs.sed (s,@libdir@,${exec_prefix}/mylines: ['\x00']) at admin/config.pl line 106. config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands Good - your configure finished. Start make now make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. !!! ERROR: media-video/kaffeine-0.4.3b failed. !!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 135, Exitcode 2 !!! died running emake, kde_src_compile:make !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
Not sure what could cause this other than manual modification...
Pretty sure I didn't manually modify anything, I don't even know where this is coming from...
There are nulls in a file somewhere. Try running 'file' on all files in /var/cache/edb/ /etc/portage If they aren't plain ascii, then you've found the problem.
mv'd /var/cache/edb to edb.old and rm -rf /etc/portage results in the same "errors"
There are no nulls anywhere, whats the next step?
Informational message added.
Bug has been fixed and released in stable portages on or before 2.0.51-r2
