It works for me.
I'd like to know more infomation.

What did do you? emerge foo?

And please show us
# ls -l /usr/lib/portage/pym/
# ls -l /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/
# grep xpak /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/portage-2.0.49-r18/CONTENTS
# which xpak
# xpak

And what was the previous portage version in the machine. -r17 or -r16 or etc?
Comment 2 Manfred Stienstra 2003-11-29 06:48:39 UTC
I copied xpak.py from the tarball to the right place and after emerging r15 and r18 again everything works again. I can't recreate te problem... Sorry.
Comment 3 Masatomo Nakano (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-29 07:05:11 UTC
OK. if the bug appears again, please reopen this bug.
Thanks

Using the "actual" (quite old) stage3 tarball reveals all the old problem.
Had the same here when used in conjunction with --buildpkg.
emerge failed in the same way.

It seems that after a re-emerge of portage all runs well again, which is strange as it got merged the first time.
