Have you edited your world file manually? I wonder if you could have introduced some non-ASCII characters or changed line endings - something that portage objects to but emaint doesn't. If that sounds like clutching at straws, it's because it is. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 19: Passive aggression pgpJ8aAanYTTw.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Portage detects fake "world file problems" and packages that don't exist
If nothing else, I would start by adding a --verbose to that emerge command. It may just confuse you worse, but it might add some useful info.

My world file is fine and "emaint --check world" doesn't find anything. Also, all these packages that portage claims are masked or don't exist are not masked and they exist. This is on ~amd64. I'm stumped :-/
[gentoo-user] Portage detects fake "world file problems" and packages that don't exist
This is weird. When doing: emerge -auDU @world Portage says: !!! Problems have been detected with your world file !!! Please run emaint --check world !!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all !!! masked or don't exist: media-sound/pavucontrol media-sound/pulseeffects sys-block/gparted Nothing to merge; quitting. My world file is fine and "emaint --check world" doesn't find anything. Also, all these packages that portage claims are masked or don't exist are not masked and they exist. This is on ~amd64.
