Right... So what's wrong with line 6 so I can fix it? :p

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6, in ?
import os,sys,portage,emergehelp,xpak,string,re,commands,time,threading,shutil,traceback
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 12, in ?
import string,os,re,types,sys,shlex,shutil,xpak,fcntl,signal,time,missingos,cPickle,atexit,grp,traceback,commands,pwd
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/re.py", line 27, in ?
from sre import *
EOFError: EOF read where object expected

What a silly little problem.
There's a comment on line 14 of /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py after the import statement on line 12.

The comment starts with a hash at the beginning of the line but has no trailing space:

Code:

#Secpass will be set to 1 if the user is root or in the portage group.

Add the space and emerge starts working again:

Code:

# Secpass will be set to 1 if the user is root or in the portage group.
