Subject: [gentoo-user] odd emerge problem
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 19:55:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060821195519.496a161c@gentoo-01> (raw)
Greetings all;
Emerge is doing some odd things. Most of the time it works, but when I
try to run
emerge -pv world
I get:
---------------------------------
\x02Mon Aug 21 19:47:13
\x02/usr/portage/distfiles/portage-snapshots
root $ emerge -pv world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies
Traceback (most recent call last):

bytes), not str
----------------------------
emerge -pv system
works just fine. I have been & currently am installing other things.
I've gotten the same (or a very similar) message when trying to install
or fetch some packages, but I can consistently reproduce this when I
try to do the emerge -pv world. Or anything else with the 'world'.
