If it does !!! not then please report this to bugs.gentoo.org and, if pos sible, a dev !!! on #gentoo (irc.freenode.org) its happened when my portage was broken cos the proccess stoped in the middle of dep-update, so i ran the README.RESCUE which bring me to the message above. or every other thing that i do the the portage, i see the message above Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. bash-2.05b# emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r1 (2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.7-gentoo-r11) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r11 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="dvd freetype linguas_he linguas_ru pda"
Change back to a non cascaded profile (eg, back to what you had), upgrade portage, then change back to the profile you had.
How do i do this ? havent found information in documentation
the problems shows up only when it do cache, its looks so example : the end of "emerge sync" output Number of files: 100781 Number of files transferred: 663 Total file size: 78352820 bytes Total transferred file size: 849415 bytes Literal data: 849415 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 2208733 Total bytes written: 13445 Total bytes read: 3088381 wrote 13445 bytes read 3088381 bytes 13227.40 bytes/sec total size is 78352820 speedup is 25.26 >>> Updating Portage cache... ...done! !!! '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)
