after I did "emerge sync" this morning, emerge was left in the following state. [orion-seven ~] # emerge Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 14, in ? import portage File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6129, in ? settings.regenerate() # XXX: Regenerate use after we get a vartree -- GLOBAL File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1392, in regenerate self.configdict["auto"]["USE"]=autouse(db[root]["vartree"],use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1121, in autouse myresult=dep_check(mydep,myvartree.dbapi,None,use="no",use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3310, in dep_check mylist=flatten(dep_listcleanup(dep_zapdeps(mysplit,mysplit2))) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3053, in dep_zapdeps myresult=dep_zapdeps(unreduced[x],reduced[x]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3039, in dep_zapdeps elif myportapi.match(x): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object needless to say, this hurt. so, I did: "strace -f -eopen,stat64 emerge" and found that emerge dies just after trying to look at /var/db/pkg/x11-base. I also added a small debug output to the failing block in /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py, and well, after trying to talk to x11-base/xfree (which isn't installed), emerge dies. as a quick fix, I decided to give portage what it was looking for: [orion-seven ~] # mkdir -p /var/db/pkg/x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 and lo and behold: [orion-seven ~] # emerge emerge: please tell me what to do. Usage: emerge [ options ] [ action ] [ ebuildfile | tbz2file | dependency ] [ ... ] emerge [ options ] [ action ] < system | world > emerge < sync | info > emerge --resume [ --pretend | --ask | --skipfirst ] emerge help [ system | config | sync ] Options: -[abcCdDefhikKlnoOpPsSuUvV] [--oneshot] [--noconfmem] [--columns] [--nospinner] Actions: [ clean | depclean | inject | prune | regen | search | unmerge ] For more help try 'emerge --help' or consult the man page. now, the scary bit is that if I uninstall xfree again, emerge will break again. apart from wondering exactly what happened, I'm looking for a permanent cure. as for the current state of the system, here is "emerge info". (I've also tested this with portage 2.0.50-r1 with the same results.)

yep.. confirming this breakage on another box: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2250, in ? reload(portage) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6128, in ? settings.regenerate() # XXX: Regenerate use after we get a vartree -- GLOBAL File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1392, in regenerate self.configdict["auto"]["USE"]=autouse(db[root]["vartree"],use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1121, in autouse myresult=dep_check(mydep,myvartree.dbapi,None,use="no",use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3309, in dep_check mylist=flatten(dep_listcleanup(dep_zapdeps(mysplit,mysplit2))) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3052, in dep_zapdeps myresult=dep_zapdeps(unreduced[x],reduced[x]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3038, in dep_zapdeps elif myportapi.match(x): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'match' also, it will fail to do "emerge sync" as well due to this.. nasty :-/
This is wierd, please change status to blocker since it breaks the system.
Me Too. Can't run emerge anymore...

Ditto. Don't have strace so I can't find what package is fubarring it for me. xenon files # emerge sync Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 14, in ? import portage File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6128, in ? settings.regenerate() # XXX: Regenerate use after we get a vartree -- GLOBAL File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1392, in regenerate self.configdict["auto"]["USE"]=autouse(db[root]["vartree"],use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1121, in autouse myresult=dep_check(mydep,myvartree.dbapi,None,use="no",use_cache=use_cache) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3309, in dep_check mylist=flatten(dep_listcleanup(dep_zapdeps(mysplit,mysplit2))) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3052, in dep_zapdeps myresult=dep_zapdeps(unreduced[x],reduced[x]) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3038, in dep_zapdeps elif myportapi.match(x): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'match'
It's an profile/package/rsync related issue. 'emerge sync' and it should be fixed by now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 47105 ***
