Description Mark Horn 2002-06-23 08:07:24 UTC
Doing an "emerge gnome" produces the following error:

localhost root # emerge gnome

    if not mydepgraph.create(mytype+" "+portage.root+" "+mykey,None,"--onlydeps"

I've tried to "emerge rsync" and then re "emerge gnome".  This causes the same
error.  After asking on #gentoo, I tried unmasking gnome2, and that appeared to
install w/out actually downloading or compiling the source code!  So I unmerged
that, re-did "emerge rsync" to end up at the above error message again.

HELP!

According to drobbins this appears of two reasons:
1) not unmasking gnome 2 stuff after emerge rsync
2) broken rsync mirror which have corrupted the contents in the control-center
ebuild
