emerge -u portage now gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2, in ?
    import os,sys,portage,xpak,string,re,commands,time,threading,shutil
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3959, in ?
    do_vartree()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 3950, in
do_vartree
    if not virts_p.has_key(vkeysplit[1]):
IndexError: list index out of range


I think my system got completly messed up by a recent filesystem crash,
and either portage or python got corrupted... I guess I have to
reinstall it from scratch :-((
