There seem to be more portage errors in the last weeks ... I got a new one:
Code:
FOGELNEST root # emerge -pu world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating world dependencies /Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1224, in ?
    if not mydepgraph.syscreate(getworldlist()):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 510, in syscreate
    if not self.create(self.match(myline,mykey="update (likely old /var/db/pkg entry)")):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 463, in create
    if not self.create(mynew,mybigkey):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 463, in create
    if not self.create(mynew,mybigkey):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 407, in create
    edepend=portage.db[myroot]["porttree"].dbapi.aux_get(mykey,portage.auxdbkeys)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 2563, in aux_get
    self.auxcache[mycpv][auxdbkeys[x]]=mylines[x][:-1]
IndexError: list index out of range

I wanted to upgrade to gnome2, upgraded portage from 2.0.5 first, then I got stuck at the above error. I do not get this error when emerge -pu gnome-core or any other package, but it also breaks the same way when trying emerge -pu system. (emerge rsync is up2date)

.. Any help welcome!

I gave
Code:
emerge /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.0.5.ebuild
a try and now it works, though 2.0.7 is still installed .. I don't think this is "clean", but for the moment. ..
looking forward to a working portage

You will have to emerge unmerge portage 2.0.7. It seems that emerge does not "clean" up or remove a package when it installs a new package. Some one could correct me if I am wrong, but it would be nice if emerge would remove all the packages that we just updated.

Yup, found it out in the meantime. what did make everything work again :
Code:
emerge /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/portage-2.0.4.ebuild
emerge -c portage

the last installed portage seems to be protected by default, so this works. with 2.0.5 ORBit didn't compile, now I hope that portaging around is done for the moment. (Currently emerge -bu world is doing fine at the 12th package)

I am just glad for the most part it is an easy fix nothing like having your installation application broken

Folks -- let's keep on thread for the recent portage-related problems.

Locking this thread in favor of this one
