I suppose some eclass has changed which result in breaking emerge for kernel modules. E.g. I currently have installed app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.2.14, but if I try to re-emerge it I get this error (same error for nvidia-drivers): # emerge -1av virtualbox-modules These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I've bisect it to this commit: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/50078fbbb3966773401c1fc59838c1e5952c1318 Reverting it fixes the issue.
Not sure is this important, but just in case: # zgrep LOCALVER /proc/config.gz CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="" CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y # cat /usr/src/linux/include/config/kernel.release 4.9.74-unofficial+grsec # uname -r 4.9.74-unofficial+grsec

You reported it happened with gentoo-sources, can you give me the above info for gentoo-sources ? Also, can you recreate with: ECLASS_DEBUG_OUTPUT=on
(In reply to Mike Pagano from comment #4) > I'm having trouble recreating this. Probably because it was reported 4 years ago. I don't have this issue now, so feel free to close it.
