I have following error messages when "emerge dev-texlive/texlive-latex"

This is a summary of all `failed' messages:
`luatex -ini -jobname=dvilualatex -progname=dvilualatex dvilualatex.ini' failed
`luatex -ini -jobname=lualatex -progname=lualatex lualatex.ini' failed
* ERROR: dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2010 failed (compile phase):

* environment, line 2286: Called texlive-module_src_compile

Any clue?

arhenius, according to my notes, I un-emerged dev-tex/luatex first, and then re-emerged it, before I was able to emerge dev-texlive/texlive-latex successfully. Did you just re-emerge dev-tex/luatex without un-emerging it first?

Hello Helio. Many thanks for your quick reply.

I tried to unmerge luatex and tehn re-emerge it, but I keep getting the same result:

arhenius, after you did

emerge -C luatex

had you done

emerge luatex

before you

emerge texlive-latex

?

Yes... that's what I did... sorry I forgot to put that command in my code box.

arhenius, it seems to me the problem now is no longer in the part of luatex, but something else that I unfortunately don't have experience or clue. I would search the error message on web and see what may come up.

I think it's better to place a bug, then... somethings wrong in the newest version of some deep depedance.

as a quick workaround - unmask new versions of packages - add this to /etc/portage/package.keywords:

The problem was pointed out in bugzila:

Got biten by that too. It is also happening on older install. It is time to stabilize a newer version in my opinion.
The other possibility is to get texlive to shut up.
