emerge -S problems

[howlinmad]

Hello,

I have a fairly new install of Gentoo (~ 2 weeks). I have noticed a few problmes I have been having with the emerge program. If I try a emerge -S <something> I get some errors. The samething happens when I try to emerge mysql. They are traceback errors, contianing line numbers. Anyone heard of this? Can I re emerge emerge somehow and hopefully fix this?

Thanks,

Erik

p.s. Here is the error from a emerge -S foo

-S seems to not be an option. Is that a typo, or are you trying to search (-s)? Also, what version are you running (emerge -V)?

the -S option searches the descriptions as well, it is a more indepth search than -s
