Description Chris Landegent 2005-08-23 16:34:39 UTC

!!! '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)

emerge sync fails with the following message:

>>>
>>> Timestamps on the server and in the local repository are the same.
>>> Cancelling all further sync action. You are already up to date.
>>>


I also tried removing the portage dir and and replaced it with the most current
portage snapshot.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See details
Actual Results:  
See details

Expected Results:  
portage should update
