emerge -vauDN world

I do not understand too because with the rc28 everything works, I put my emerge - info

Thank you in advance for your help and good day

You should remove the metadata_overlay setting that you have in /etc/portage/modules. You don't need that because FEATURES=-metadata-transfer gives you the behavior that you want (it's the default setting since portage-2.1.5.x).

Yes that's right, so it is not a bug and we can close it, thank you very much.

[Comment 3 Zac Medico 2009-04-12 04:06:45 UTC]
