Description Marcus J. van Dijk, Jr. 2003-12-21 05:33:49 UTC
I've got 2 PC's here, and just on one, after doing my last emerge rsync, I get the following:

tristan root # emerge -uDp world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r1 [1.2.1] 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2200, in ?
    mydepgraph.display(mydepgraph.altlist())
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1105, in display
    elif (not "--emptytree" in myopts) and portage.db[x[1]]["vartree"].exists_specific_cat(x[2]):
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3480, in exists_specific_cat
    self.invalidentry(self.root+"var/db/pkg/"+a[0]+"/"+x)
AttributeError: vartree instance has no attribute 'invalidentry'
tristan root # 

I have tried to re-rsync but that doesn't help with this problem.

What other information is needed?

Bah, must have been either asleep or too drunk.
