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:

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'.

As always, I am very thankful for any assistance or leads.
