Description Yuri Shatroff 2013-09-16 10:43:32 UTC 
Using euse from the latest app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.8-r1, I get the following error:
# euse
ERROR: $PORTDIR couldn't be determined

regardless of arguments supplied to it, unless I manually set PORTDIR in the shell, while `portageq portdir` returns '/usr/portage' and other gentoolkit tools operate correctly.

# portageq portdir
/usr/portage

This is bug #474574.

When upgrading to portage-2.2, if you run etc-update, it should set PORTDIR for you. This gets appended to make.conf:

  # Set PORTDIR for backward compatibility with various tools:
  # gentoo-bashcomp - bug #478444
  # euse - bug #474574
  # euses and ufed - bug #478318

I have upgraded portage recently (a week ago from 2.1.x to 2.2.1, and today to 2.2.6) but neither a usual message ("config files need updating") was shown nor manual run of etc-update did any changes to /etc/make.conf or /etc/portage/*.

PORTDIR is deprecated and euse works well with settings from repos.conf
This bug should be closed as obsolete.
