Bug 36418 – Strange portage error: NameError: global name 'ret' is not defined

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description David Holm (RETIRED) 2003-12-24 03:30:45 UTC]

After having rsynced today portage stopped working. An 'emerge -DU world -vp' simply returns:

>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

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