[gentoo-dev] problem with "emerge clean"

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi gentoo-team!

After a long search for a good linux dist. _without_ this sucking RPMs, I 
found your dist. on "distrowatch.com". I am very happy now, I like your 
portage-system very much.

But now I have my first problem with it. I tried to make an "emerge clean" 
which worked find, until it came to a package named 
"kde-base/arts-1.0.1.20020604". Portage is not able to unmerge it with its 
dependecies. Even if I try to unmerge it manually, I get the follwing 
error message:

>>> Unmerging kde-base/arts-1.0.1.20020604...

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function inherit, Line -2050, Exitcode 0
!!! kde.org: Error: unrecognized version 1.0.1, could not set SRC_URI

!!! pkg_prerm() script failed; exiting.

Because I'm new to your gentoo-system, I have no clue how to fix this 
problem. Is there an easy way to fix it? Please help me!

Thank you, Matthias

Sorry, I still don't know how to fix this, but I have exactly the same problem 
here with unmerging arts-1.0.2. I think there's a problem with the version of 
arts, because it's the only part of kde with a version different to 3.0.x.

I'm having some rather serious difficulties that I think go back to emerge 
rsync --clean as well (	or maybe emerge -c, I don't know).  In any event, 
after following the instructions for the latest security update (to rebuild 
glibc) and the juggled net-misc files, I've ended up with an emerge (portage 
2.0.13) which is severely broken, to the point where, if I just try and do an 
'emerge -s [somepackage]' I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1198, in ?
    searchinstance.output()
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 162, in output
    print "[ Results for search key : "+white(self.searchkey)+" ]"
NameError: global name 'white' is not defined

Pretty much every other action is also broken ... if I emerge something 
directly it will merge, but of course, the moment it tries to print any kind 
of message the same tracebacks occur.

Anyone know how to fix this?!
