I ran emerge sync earlier this evening and I got the following at the end of
the output:
Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2005
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
.='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move'
s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*'
.Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 10, in ?
import portage
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7480, in ?
do_upgrade(mykey)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 7385, in do_upgrade
key=dep_getkey(line.split()[0])
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 3609, in dep_getkey
if mydep[-1]=="*":
IndexError: string index out of range
I now get the same error messages when I try to emerge anything, including
portage. In other words portage is completely broken.
What should I do?
Many thanks
Robert
