I've ^c-ed Portage, and got a suspicious error:

>>> Source prepared.
^c
/usr/lib/portage/python3.12/misc-functions.sh: line 517: /tmp/portage/dev-python/Faker-19.13.0/build-info/BUILD_ID: No such file or directory
usage: compose <package_cpv> <binpkg_path> <metadata_dir> <image_dir>
Argument 3 is not a directory: '/tmp/portage/dev-python/Faker-19.13.0/build-info'
 * ERROR: dev-python/Faker-19.13.0::gentoo failed (package phase):
 *   Failed to create binpkg file
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *   misc-functions.sh, line 671:  Called __dyn_package
 *   misc-functions.sh, line 558:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                      die "Failed to create binpkg file"

It looks as if it jumped prematurely into binpkg creation rather than gracefully terminating.

From the summary, I was expecting this to be a dupe of bug 900226, but it's not...
