Hi, I have tried two mirrors (uk and fr) for a sync and get the same error: !!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/ghostscript-0) Any chance of any help please? It means I can't install anything at the moment, and I really need to... emerge --info as follows: Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Mar 4 2005, 20:56:19)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: [Not Present] dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.6.3, 1.4_p6, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.10-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.fr.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cli crypt cups dlloader dri eds emboss encode expat fam foomaticdb fortran gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 idn imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg lcms lzw lzw-tiff mad mng mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb xml2 xorg xpm xv zlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: CBUILD, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
