Description Bob Schmertz 2002-12-18 00:51:19 UTC
After rsyncing and updating portage (sys-apps/portage-2.0.45-r5), I did an
emerge -p on sawfish, in the vain hope that this new portage would perhaps allow
me to have sawfish and gnome2 on the same system.  Instead, what I got was:

slarty-ppc:/etc# emerge -p sawfish 

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] dev-libs/gmp-4.1-r1 
[ebuild  N   ] dev-libs/librep-0.16.1 
[blocks B    ] gnome-base/gnome-session (from pkg gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1707, in ?
    mydepgraph.display(mydepgraph.altlist())
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1010, in display
    if mysplit[0]=="sys-apps/portage":
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

FWIW, I'm running on an iBook2, installed from the Gentoo1.2 ISO, and the 1.4
stage3 tarball.

Fixed already. Thanks though
