Emerging a new version of bash (3.1_p10) failed with a configure error. Currently installed version is bash-3.1_p8. Further testing showed that actually all ebuilds in app-shells/bash produce the same error. * econf: updating bash-3.1/support/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --without-afs --disable-profiling --without-gnu-malloc --without-installed-readline --disable-nls --with-ncurses --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu configure: error: invalid package name: !!!

(In reply to comment #0) > configure: error: invalid package name: More testing showed that almost no ebuilds could be emerged, 'expr' was the problem (coreutils-5.94): $ /bin/expr.orig /test : '/' 577850844238577665 Since re-emerging coreutils also did not work because of the same problem I copied an 'expr' binary from another system: $ /bin/expr /test : '/' 1 After that re-emerging coreutils (now 5.94-r1) worked, and everything else (emerging bash, etc.) as well.
