Hello,

My galeon web browser mysteriously stopped working today.  In an
attempt to get it to work again, I did the following:

emerge -euv galeon

The idea was to recompile galeon and absolutely everything it
depends upon.

I had to stop the compilation at one point with a control-c,
although this was at a point that should have been safe to do this.
When I then tried to run emerge again, I got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 14, in ?
    import portage
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 10, in ?
    from select import *
ImportError: No module named select

This happens whatever arguments I give to emerge, and obviously
means that the python select module is for some reason not
installed.  Python was not the ebuild that I interrupted, so I am
confused why this should be the case.

So, I am now completely unable to run emerge to do anything else.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get a working portage
setup now?

I am sorry if this is explained in the forum, I am having difficulty
viewing web pages at the moment due to having no working web
browser (I have wget though!).

Regards,
Andy.
