Description Jauhien Piatlicki (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-20 17:47:37 UTC 
emerge @security fails when it finds stuff to update for =sys-apps/portage-2.2.10.

Log is here (I've added additional print(c) statement after line 388 of /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/glsa.py to see what package causes the problem):

jauhien@kamputar 03 % sudo emerge -va @security                      

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I've managed to reproduce this error on another machine. Steps to reproduce:

1. Install dev-libs/libyaml-0.1.4
2. Run `emerge @security`

I have not tested if this error affects other portage versions.

Please paste the output of emerge --info =sys-apps/portage-2.2.10.
