Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the 'stuge' repository contains ebuilds that trigger fatal errors during the cache regeneration. This usually means that the ebuilds call 'die' in global scope indicating serious issues. Global-scope failures prevent the ebuild not only from being installed but also from being properly processed by the Package Manager. Since metadata can not be obtained for those ebuilds, no cache entries are created for them and the Package Manager needs to retry running them every time it stumbles upon them. This involves both a serious slowdown and repeating error output while performing dependency resolution. The most common cause of global-scope failures is use of removed or banned APIs in old ebuilds. In particular, this includes eclasses being removed or removing support for old EAPIs. Nonetheless there are also other issues such as performing illegal operations in global scope (external program calls), malformed bash in ebuilds or malformed metadata.xml. The error log for the repository can be found at: http://gentoo.github.io/repo-qa-check-results/stuge.html In particular, please look for highlighted '!!! ERROR' and '!!! caught exception' lines. The former usually mean failures coming from eclasses and the ebuild itself, while exceptions usually mean malformed ebuilds or metadata.xml. While at it, please consider fixing global-scope 'use' call warnings (if any). They are not fatal but are considered a serious QA violation. 'use' functions must not ever be called outside of phase functions. Please fix the issue ASAP, possibly via removing unmaintained, old ebuilds. We reserve the right to remove the repository from our list if we do not receive any reply within 4 weeks. [1]:https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Repository_mirror_and_CI
Peter, ping. Could you fix the listed issues, please?
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #1) > Peter, ping. Could you fix the listed issues, please? Thanks for the ping! I've removed qcad and am looking at what to do about screen@FreeBSD. But what about the two strange error messages for taidelta and unlinkd? I'd appreciate a hint on what to do about those. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! I think they have disappeared already. pkgcore chokes a bit if it starts to hit errors. It's best to fix the main errors first, and see if the cryptic messages disappear if pkgcore doesn't hit any more sudden deaths.
Ping. It seems that qcad is still there, and failing.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #4) > Ping. It seems that qcad is still there, and failing. Sorry. I had removed qcad but forgotten to push that commit.
More errors, Peter. Please keep fixing them until the light goes green. The script usually does not report all of them in one run.
The repository has been removed, rendering this bug obsolete.
