I've been using distcc and buildpkg/getbinpkgs FEATURES for a while now with the following (related) setup in make.conf: FEATURES="distcc distcc-pump nodoc getbinpkg buildpkg parallel-fetch -userfetch" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_BINHOST is/was not set. Today after upgrade to sys-apps/portage-2.2.27 (from 2.2.26), the following traceback is produced after runnign any emerge command: ======== Traceback for invalid call to

This is fixed in git: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/commit/?id=f0070ca55e61ad8cf3b259797e675c22b17f2bc6
Tested a few minutes ago with sys-apps/portage-9999 and it works as expected. Thanks.
Please don't mark it resolved, we will do that when the code is in a regular release. It will also help others find this bug (to save duplicates) and the patch they can add for epatch_user if they don't want to wait for the next release.
Noted, thanks.
Fixed in 2.2.28.
