Greetings all;
Emerge is doing some odd things. Most of the time it works, but when I
try to run
emerge -pv world
I get:
---------------------------------
Mon Aug 21 19:47:13
/usr/portage/distfiles/portage-snapshots
root $ emerge -pv world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies

bytes), not str
----------------------------
emerge -pv system
works just fine. I have been & currently am installing other things.
I've gotten the same (or a very similar) message when trying to install
or fetch some packages, but I can consistently reproduce this when I
try to do the emerge -pv world. Or anything else with the 'world'.

As always, I am very thankful for any assistance or leads.
