I'm having this same problem, and it's preventing me from emerging the system.

There's some stuff on the Gentoo wiki here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Talk:Gentoo_for_Mac_OS_X (scroll down to the bottom).

I'll give it a try when I have a second.

I think I agree that this should not be happening... perhaps someone should file a bug report?

Thanks for the hack to get around it, had to blow away my install and was reinstalling when I hit this snag.

Peace.

Thanks for the help everyone! The hack to get around this worked for me also.
I submitted a bug for this. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96321
Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

Anyone know of any downsides to injecting pico like the hack says to? I did it but wonder if it may haunt me later.

From the bug mentioned above,

Thanks for posting to bugzilla, guys. As a developer, I rarely have time enough even for dev work, let alone browsing the forum seeking out bugs. Especially as of late, we're low on Mac OS X devs, so there's plenty of work to go around without 'wasting' time on the forums. Nonetheless, I do want to point out (yet again) that it's absolutely necessary that you post bugs to bugzilla. Quite frankly, we won't see them otherwise.

Lina and I took a look at this bug as soon as we got the chance because it was a system blocker. Please post to the bug if there are any more problems after an 'emerge sync'.

Thanks again.
