Description Gerard Mason 2006-05-14 11:46:51 UTC 
Got the following error message today when doing an emerge --sync:

>>> Updating Portage cache:   90%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/ghostscript-0)

This is a system that hasn't been updated in maybe a year, running Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1.

1) Please search for bugs before posting.

2) Please upgrade portage, then re-sync. This should fix your problem.
