Description Chris Arndt 2002-04-10 03:23:31 UTC
updated to portage 1.8.19, and now i can't emerge any packages.
this happens for all ebuilds, and here is an example for portage.
also this happens with our without --pretend



# emerge sys-apps/portage --pretend

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

Comment 1 Chris Arndt 2002-04-10 06:48:39 UTC
doing the follwing fixes the problem

mkdir /var/cache/edb/dep
