Description jfmoxley 2004-11-11 10:34:54 UTC

I noticed this after an emerge sync after update cache completed, but now emerge bombs on me every time.  I tried the 'rm -Rf /usr/portage/profiles; emerge sync' suggestion, but this did not change the problem.  I am now unable to emerge anything.

bash-2.05b# emerge --version
!!! '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)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
