Any suggestions?  I've tagged this as "major" since dispatch-conf
being broken is a right royal PITA...

My system is completely up-to-date with ~x86 ebuilds, including the
very latest portage (which might explain the failure, of course, since
it changed today).

I got the same error on the same config file.

[Comment 3 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2004-11-08 05:05:46 UTC]

I missed the equery part

[Comment 4 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2004-11-19 10:38:16 UTC]

Created attachment 44301 [details, diff]
Patch to fix traceback

I know this is already in CVS, but here is the patch for anyone else who runs
into this problem before the version in CVS is released

[Comment 5 Mike White 2004-11-24 19:23:40 UTC]

When I try to emerge any ebuild I get the following error:
!!! 'str' object has no attribute 'insert'
!!! 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' may fix this. If it does
!!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if possible, a dev
!!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org)
When I follow thos instructions I get the same error, so I am submitting this bug. This happened after I did an emerge sync a few days ago. Previously emerge worked fine for me.
