Under some circumstances, getmaskingstatus yields an error: File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py", line 6343, in getmaskingstatus settings.setcpv(p, mydb=metadata) NameError: global name 'p' is not defined It happens sometimes in Portato (a Portage GUI) and I haven't seen it when running from CLI... but it is really a portage bug nevertheless ;)
Created attachment 159991 [details, diff] getmaskingstatus.patch And this small patch should fix it :) (not tested, but assumed from reading the code)
Thanks, you patch is in svn r11004.
This is fixed in 2.2_rc2.
