and move dir.old to dir all work fine

No idea. 
 
Mike, do you know what portage is doing wrong that you reassigned it  
to us?  
Comment 5 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2005-07-31 19:10:56 UTC
This was likely caused by a problem with texinfo inside bin/emerge where it
calls install-info:

myso=commands.getstatusoutput("LANG=C LANGUAGE=C /usr/bin/install-info
--dir-file="+inforoot+"/dir "+inforoot+"/"+x)[1]

The call to commands.getstatusoutput() actually returns a (status, output) tuple
here but our emerge code seems to expect myso as a string rather than a tuple.

It appears that our code needs some fixing but the OP should probably rebuild or
update texinfo to see if that helps.

Is this still even remotely relevant?
Comment 7 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2007-06-30 22:56:48 UTC
Please reopen if this is still an issue.
