just done emerge --sync.
after the sync this is the error i have using emerge;

Maybe the same problem.
emerge --sync works well, but
emerge -vp --update world writes next:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!

sorry, it's not my problem. I've just updated java-config
:oops:

I just ran into exactly the same problem. I emerged my whole system about three weeks ago from scratch and never did an emerge --sync up to today, but now I just got exactly the same error messages transquilcool reported. I would be very grateful for a solution, too.

DLCool, check out this post for the KeyError issue. I have filed a bug for it also. Sorry I have no idea about the java part.

meanwhile i just do; rm /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2006

and emerge works again. might not be the best solution so far but at least i can get emerge to work for now.

Cool. That gets emerge back to work here, too. But I'd be really interested in the cause of the problem. Some defective lines in the 3Q-2006 file? Unfortunately I'm not into coding and such stuff, so I probably wouldn't notice anything until it bit me, but I'm still curious

BTW, now I get the same error, additionally with the 4Q-2006 file. Removing both like mentioned above gets emerge back to work, but somehow the root of the problem isn't solved yet. No ideas what caused the error in the first place?

That's the new error, which is basically the same as before, only with the new file:
