Description Michael Gratton 2004-10-29 06:30:36 UTC
When I "emerge sync" or run "glsa-check -f all", I just get the text "'str' object has no attribute 'insert'".  I try deleting /usr/portage/profiles and resync'ing, but it doesn't go.  Just the same message after it downloads the updates.  The last updates I've done were about two months ago (~8/04), updating to the new KDE (3.3.0) and prelinking my system.  I've had no other problems since then.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles
2.emerge sync
3.

Actual Results:  
[regular emerge sync stuff to stdout] 
Then to stderr: 
!!! '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:  
It should update the portage cache. 

> emerge info 
!!! '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 also have this same problem on my other Gentoo box, updated at the same time 
as this one.  It runs a similar configuration.
