When I recently did an emerge -u world, I got a similar error to below for ati-drivers-extra (whatever version was most recent in the tree at the time of writing) root@obsidian xcham # emerge -u world Calculating world dependencies - emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy ">=virtual/linux-sources-2.4". !!! Problem with ebuild x11-libs/fox-1.2.6-r2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. root@obsidian xcham # Somehow the problem doesn't occur if I just "emerge fox". ?!?

I can confirm this. I was in the middle of an emerge -u, and ran into thsi error, but with different applications (gconf and gcc ).
If anyone can reproduce it, please do so with the --debug flag and attach the output. If you are still running 2.0.50-r11, upgrade to portage-2.0.51-r3 first and ensure the problem doesn't go away.
Created attachment 51817 [details] logging of emerge -puv system without and with --debug Hi, I have encountered this problem the first time today and I am using portage v2.0.51-r15. I report this for the records and in the hope that it will help
Sascha Wuestemann: You're problem is that you have a very old version of gcc still installed which is saying that it is sys-apps/texinfo. Empty its PROVIDE file or just unmerge it. Others: It's not making sense. If you can get the --debug output, reopen.
