--ask and --resume don't go well together. I usually forget to remove -a so I see this error a lot. doesn't matter which package as long as there is something to resume. # emerge xchat-xsys glibc Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 2) net-irc/xchat-xsys-1.9.0 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) xsys-1.9.0.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking xsys-1.9.0.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/xchat-xsys-1.9.0/work >>> Source unpacked.

--resume should be the only thing on the command line anyway.
Can a more "user friendly" error be printed out instead of traceback?
You have emerge aliased to 'emerge -v', yes? The traceback you are getting only happens with both --verbose and --resume in conjunction with --pretend or --ask. This is has been fixed prior to 2.0.51.19 by removing --verbose when using --resume.
This problem still exists with the latest version of emerge. --ask in conjuction with --resume results in a traceback!

Setting emerge to print out myopts right before the tb it looks like verbose is being inject into myopts at some point, I will spend some time today figuring out where. localhost bin # emerge --verbose --resume --ask * --verbose is currently broken with --resume.

Created attachment 73691 [details, diff] Fix for the problem, removes sneakly --verbose Basically one does an emerge -pv world, then control C's it. Emerge will store the options in mtimedb. Thus --verbose gets stuck in there. Then you emerge --resume {--pretend,--ask} it and it loads the options from the mtimedb. Of course this pulls in --verbose, but only if you used it in the original emerge command. This patches filters verbose from the mtimedb loaded options. Fixes the issue locally for me.
I'm part of dev-portage to which this bug is assigned, so CC'ing isn't needed.
This was released in portage-2.1_pre1
