Wanted to do some installs today and suddenly my portage is puking out
with
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 10, in ?
import portage
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7187, in ?
settings=config(config_profile_path=PROFILE_PATH,config_incrementals=portage_const.INCREMENTALS)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 946, in __init__
mypath = os.path.normpath(mypath+"///"+grabfile(mypath+"/parent")[0])
IndexError: list index out of range
This happens with any emerge command. I'm going to guess that something
got currupted somewhere along the way, any suggestions on how to unbreak
it (without downloading a binary hopefully :)?
The last things in my emerge.log are installing the man-pages package,
and a couple of these:
1149810120: Started emerge on: Jun 08, 2006 16:42:00
1149810120: *** emerge --ask --verbose jabberd jabber-base yahoo-transport
twisted-words twisted-web twisted
1149810121: *** terminating.
(nothing actually installed).
Any ideas?
TIA
Thanks.
