emerge --info missing. Also, what did you run to get this traceback?

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2006-07-27 02:38:47 UTC]

It looks like you have an invalid atom in package.use.  Did you get a message telling you which atom? Somebody reported this same error on irc earlier today and it's fixed in svn r4026.

This has been released in 2.1.1_pre4.
