When emerge portage is called in stage 1 bootstrap, I get follozing Error(s)

Calculating dependencies !!! Name error in : category or package part missing.

Traceback:

File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1220, in ?

ok, so I run the command scripts/bootstrap.sh

I cannot copy paste output, as I am in stage 1, but here are some typed lines :

exporting HTTP_PROXY=http://my.proxy.com:8080
Calculating dependencies !!! Name error in : category or package part missing.
Traceback(;ost recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1220, in ?

Files "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py",line 2096, in dep_bestmatch
if not self.hasnode(mykey)

and this goes on for a while.

the same error occurs when I run emerge portage

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
