What happens when you run emerge with the new portage is that this error=20 message pops up: # emerge -uaDv world !!! Repository 'x-portage' is missing masters attribute in=20 '/usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf' !!! Set 'masters =3D gentoo' in this file for future compatibility However, as Alan says it is a puzzle why there wasn't a news item warning=20 users of this new configuration requirement and how things may break if it = is=20 not complied with; or why the ebuild does not create itself the=20 '/usr/local/portage/metadata/' directory and populate layout.conf with defa= ult=20 values - unless the user has already done so. Either way it shouldn't let the user make WAGs as to what is now necessary = for=20 a properly functioning package manager. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1577144.IoHa3I0O7B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJSNCvdAAoJELAdA+zwE4Ye+n8H/0B02CluPFc/VZuBx9hvXQNA EfmSOorAq2yDKzoGU9tMg4XHZucffSOuFQQoCkA9PCecfgvu09R/rcZRSmrHhF9y titZxspQ3P4vsHPao0l8szLtNPFGFW+WjrvXo2DJrcWxBBJkQBXjMM6vPpiP89Et tvUFyagrg9EZuoynhcW54eLz03umJQ8jB8E8ELrwCPZQuNCkrde8OY2uCUnffSla vYvHLzABl2s+n+jOYNHbsP7R2Z9DzfSWsctTJOfF66tBUuSVdmzJyXIbAQ2mXmcd nl5WNUThG9xTDf/r1APyD8lrGCqslYs/wBrXAYc0y/d9s48q1E2hVHO6HUEGz6E= =20zw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1577144.IoHa3I0O7B--
