When - adding a custom repository (eselect repository add ...) - and never received repositories.xml before you get a lot of error messages. The operation succeeds nevertheless. This is a bit confusing. Example output: emerge respository add my-repo git https://... > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/eselect-repo/eselect-repo-helper", line 147, in <module> > main() > File "/usr/lib/eselect-repo/eselect-repo-helper", line 134, in main > args = p.parse_args() > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/argparse.py", line 1730, in parse_args > args, argv = self.parse_known_args(args, namespace) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/argparse.py", line 1762, in parse_known_args > namespace, args = self._parse_known_args(args, namespace) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/argparse.py", line 1968, in _parse_known_args > start_index = consume_optional(start_index) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/argparse.py", line 1908, in consume_optional > take_action(action, args, option_string) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/argparse.py", line 1820, in take_action > argument_values = self._get_values(action, argument_strings) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/argparse.py", line 2261, in _get_values > value = self._get_value(action, arg_string) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/argparse.py", line 2290, in _get_value > result = type_func(arg_string) > File "src/lxml/etree.pyx", line 3444, in lxml.etree.parse (src/lxml/etree.c:83185) > File "src/lxml/parser.pxi", line 1834, in lxml.etree._parseDocument (src/lxml/etree.c:120757) > File "src/lxml/parser.pxi", line 1860, in lxml.etree._parseDocumentFromURL (src/lxml/etree.c:121104) > File "src/lxml/parser.pxi", line 1764, in lxml.etree._parseDocFromFile (src/lxml/etree.c:120012) > File "src/lxml/parser.pxi", line 1161, in lxml.etree._BaseParser._parseDocFromFile (src/lxml/etree.c:114561) > File "src/lxml/parser.pxi", line 598, in lxml.etree._ParserContext._handleParseResultDoc (src/lxml/etree.c:107738) > File "src/lxml/parser.pxi", line 709, in lxml.etree._handleParseResult (src/lxml/etree.c:109447) > File "src/lxml/parser.pxi", line 636, in lxml.etree._raiseParseError (src/lxml/etree.c:108258) > OSError: Error reading file '/root/.cache/eselect-repo/repositories.xml': failed to load external entity "/root/.cache/eselect-repo/repositories.xml" > !!!
