Hello,
- whenever I try to emerge a new package, the installation process fails
with the message
!!! CATEGORY info missing from info chunk, aborting...
This happens on a system that has been installed from a Gentoo i686 LiveCD
(1.4) a while ago and is now "emerge rsync"ing and "emerge -U world"ing for
the first time. The only packages that installed fine was the upgrade to
portage-2.0.50-r1 and (after that) gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre6. Now I'm stuck...
does anybody have an idea what is wrong there?
regards,
David
P.S. This is a complete output of "emerge ccache":
