Description John Herzfeld 2003-09-09 09:21:12 UTC
When I type emerge -u world, I get the following messages:

Calculating world dependencies \Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2023, in ?
    if not mydepgraph.xcreate(myaction):

It started today, after I synced.
Since then, I have synced 2 more times, but there has been no change.

As mentioned above, emerge -u system works fine.

potage version is
 2.0.49-r3

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pu world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
listed ebuilds in need of updating

Comment 1 John Herzfeld 2003-09-19 07:08:10 UTC
I checked my emerge log, and the last package I emerged after 
my last successful emerge --u world, was wine-20030813.

I unmerged that and now my system is OK.

Maybe there's a problem with the wine package, but I leave that to you.

This bug is now "solved"
