!!! 'str' object has no attribute 'insert' !!! 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' may fix this. If it does !!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if possible, a dev !!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org) I tried what it suggested but end up with the same result. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. 3. Actual Results: !!! 'str' object has no attribute 'insert' !!! 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' may fix this. If it does !!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if possible, a dev !!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org) Expected Results: emerge sync would complete as normal. emerge info gives me the same error! I just updated portage yesterday could this have something to do with it? I am running the amd64 architecture with the latest portage.
I deleted the portage profiles directory and was able to do emerge info. linuxess log # rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge info --- 'profiles/arch.list' is empty or not available. Empty portage tree?
