After runnung emerge depclean I realized that many important binaries (ls, rm, ...) were missing. This also caused the "emerge depclean" to stop at some point. Since those binaries are also used by emerge and ebuild I was in real trouble. When I got back the most important binaries I reinstalled coreutils and it was added to "world". Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. I tried "emerge depclean" again 2. it failed ( due to another but alread reported bug) Actual Results: # emerge depclean // Warning Messages ... Calculating depclean dependencies ... done! Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1840, in ? catpack=myparts[0]+"/"+myparts[1] TypeError: unsubscriptable object # Expected Results: I didn't even expect it to be reproducable that way since coreutils was added to "world" when I did "emerge coreutils" after my little disaster. That should prevent it form happening again, shouldn't it? I think "coreutils" is not added to "system" or "world" when at first installing gentoo (how can I find out if that's true or, generally how do I find out what the contents of "system" are?). Adding it to "system" should resolve that bug I think. # emerge info Portage 2.0.48-r5 (default-1.0, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5-r2,2.2.5-r8) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.21 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm avi crypt cups encode jpeg kde libg++ mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses pdflib quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv arts berkdb cdr esd gdbm gif gnome gnome-libs gpm gphoto2 gtk imlib java libwww motif mozilla nls oggvorbis opengl pam perl png python qt readline scanner sdl slang ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff X" COMPILER="" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j7 -l6.0" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
