I had also previously emerged cdb to try to help with that also. Anyway, I'm not really sure what state my portage is in right now, except that now every emerge command returns festus@gentoovm ~ $ emerge --info Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 31, in ? import emergehelp, xpak, commands, errno, re, socket, string, time, types File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/emergehelp.py", line 7, in ? from portage_const import PRIVATE_PATH,PRELINK_BINARY,HASHING_BLOCKSIZE File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_const.py", line 7, in ? from portage_const import PRIVATE_PATH,PRELINK_BINARY,HASHING_BLOCKSIZE ImportError: cannot import name PRIVATE_PATH I already tried http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml but it didn't help. Me thinks I should have done a quickpkg! Any help greatly appreciated.
