sethbc@lhotse:/usr/portage$ emerge world --deep -up These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies \ aux_get(): (2) couldn't open cache entry for sys-apps/man-1.5k-r1 Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/man" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "sys-apps/man-pages-1.55" [ebuild])
i've found this is with all kinds of portage operations... if i do a repoman commit or something, i get these messages i have the cache set up right i think...i've rm-rf'd it and regened....still doesn't fix it :/
Did you try deleting and refetching the ebuilds? Normally when it says syntax error, it means it... I'll add in a permissions test though.
