already fixed.
I just synced. If you think this is due to an rsync mirror out of date , close the bug. home ~ # emerge --pretend --update --deep world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies \ emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-uitl/kdevelop". !!!

yes, it's due to a bad sync on your end. This bug is fixed in cvs.

While fixed in portage, if you were unfortunate enough to --sync/--metadata while it was in the tree, you're going to keep getting this error message. I found that I could finally fix it if I lobotomized portage in two separate locations: #mv /usr/portage/metadata/cache /tmp/portage-cache #mv /var/cache /tmp/var-cache #emerge --metadata #emerge -uDp world [note QA notices scrolling by; dunno what any of these mean in this context] There is probably a less heavy-handed way to fix this, but this method appears to have worked (FINALLY!
Viva la brute force :) The following fixed it for me too. emerge --sync rm -rf /usr/portage/metadata/cache rm -rf /var/cache emerge --metadata emerge -uDp world
I also note that emerge --sync brings the problem bacbk again. :(
Damn it! You are right. The mirrors are feeding in broken metadata. Could some mirror admin look into this ?
I have filed a separate bug, for the --sync-brings-it-back story. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85588

This is now fixed in the portage tree. To fix the problem on your systems, do the following: rm -rf /usr/portage/metadata/cache rm -rf /var/cache/edb emerge --metadata emerge --sync That has solved the problem on my systems.

Well, let's try the solution proposed by Joseph Pingenot, root # emerge --metadata >>> /var/cache/edb doesn't exist, creating it... >>> /var/cache/edb/dep doesn't exist, creating it...

This seemes to be really fixed as of now. Try sync-ing , without using some local mirror. Does sync-ing help ?
How can I avoid a local mirror?
I meant: if you have set SYNC="rsync://<host>" in /etc/make.conf , comment the line.
No, I have not any "SYNC" directive in my make.conf, And it still does not work.
I have just synced against the machine with IP 134.68.220.74 and I still get Calculating world dependencies / emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-uitl/kdevelop". !!! Problem with ebuild app-doc/ebook-cpp-3.2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed.
I managed to solve it by rm -r /usr/portage/metadata/app-doc/* emerge metadata Strange though, that the sync didn't fix this.
i found a less brutal way of doing it for the time being rm /usr/portage/metadata/cache/app-doc/ebook-* rm /var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/app-doc/ebook-* i found that seems to "just work" for the time being.. it seems this lets you avoid all the " emerge --metadate " time wasting... but as im still unfamiliar with the internals of how it exactly works... basically.. if it dies.. well, dont blame me :D... i just thought "why perform a lobotomy.... lets just cut out the cancer, and leve the rest there"

rm /usr/portage/metadata/cache/app-doc/ebook-* rm /var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/app-doc/ebook-* worked nice forme . This show us; how weak the portage system can be. i was used to emerge -DuNpv world/system once a week in cronatb. But this is not a good idea.
