Description Michael Imhof (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-29 11:29:19 UTC
# emerge
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2, in ?
    import os,sys,portage,xpak,string,re,commands,time,threading,grp
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3701, in ?
    thirdpartymirrors=grabdict(settings["PORTDIR"]+"/profiles/thirdpartymirrors")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 395, in grabdict
    myfile.close()
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor


this happens at every call of emerge, ebuild etc...
I thought that python was broken, so i built python on a second machine and
installed it: problem still persists.

Any sugesstions how to get a working portage again?
