You didn't provide emerge --info, nor did you say precisely how/if you can reproduce it. Although, looking at the traceback, I would say that in /etc/portage/package.use you have "pkg" instead of "cat/pkg". ah, stupid, of course i that is the problem, man portage isn't available on the minimal livecd, so i wasn't sure of the correct format, and i did that a few install attempts ago and have been copying the package.use file across, perpetuating the error Since I got the same problem I would suggest to make it more userfriendly. The error message is not really easy to understand. |
