Description Spicer T. Matthews 2003-11-29 15:35:49 UTC

When I type the command below i get the error shown.  If I just do a emerge -u
world it works, however I have no idea what I am upgrading.  This has been
happening for like a month now. I have upgraded portage in hopes of correcting this.


rager root # emerge -u -p world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
Traceback (most recent call last):

    elif (not "--emptytree" in myopts) and
portage.db[x[1]]["vartree"].exists_specific_cat(x[2]):
