[gentoo-user] euse after portage upgrade

[András Csányi]

Hi All,

Yesterday there was an portage upgrade and after that I got it if I
would like to use euse:

sayusi-desktop sayusi # euse -E gtk3
ERROR: $PORTDIR couldn't be determined

What is it and why that variable not determined? I did not do anything
and my machine was estarted since portage upgrade. According to the
logs I use

sys-apps/portage-2.1.13.2 - 07/30/2013

and gentoolkit package was re-emerged.

Should I file a bug on bugs.gentoo.org?

Thanks for any help!

András

I think this bug is known. A work-around is to add the line

PORTDIR=/usr/portage

(or something different if your portage tree is not in /usr/portage)

to your /etc/portage/make.conf  file

When I upgraded portage yesterday, it added this PORTDIR line to
make.conf for me when I ran etc-update. Did you update your config
files after upgrading portage?

I remember there was an etc-update, but make.conf was not among those
files where an update is required as far as I remember.
Hopefully, I was not pay any attention.

I did the update manually and the error message disappeared.
