Well after doing alot of research over the past two days, I find that my issue is different than the ones that I have found either in forums or bugs. Although it might be related to bug #41869. Anyway, since yesterday after doing an emerge rsync, I have not been able to do "emerge -uDp world". The output is a follows: emerge world -uDp These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies |Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2517, in ? if not mydepgraph.xcreate(myaction): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1135, in xcreate if not self.create(myk): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 825, in create if not self.select_dep("/",mydep["/"],myparent=mp,myuse=myuse): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 936, in select_dep mycheck=portage.dep_check(depstring,self.mydbapi[myroot],self.pkgsettings,myuse=myuse) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3292, in dep_check mysplit=dep_virtual(mysplit) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2952, in dep_virtual for x in mysplit: TypeError: iteration over non-sequence I have tried the suggestions of modifing portage.py. Modifing virtuals to remove xorg. None of the suggestions that I have found works. I get this on two different machines. Same exact output. Also, "emerge -up world" works. So It seems to be with a problem with Deep dependency check Now, on machines with out X there is no issues. Works like a charm on two different servers. I have attached an strace file for "emerge -uDp world". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync and emerge rsync 2. emerge world -uDp Actual Results: It fails with Traceback. Expected Results: Printed a list of software that was updated in portage.

Well, the strace file is 52M. And I can't attach a file of that size. Is their any place I can ftp it to?
