After I type emerge <anything> , even --info and such, I get that error message. This happened after a --sync (I guess, I'm not exactly sure what caused it, perhaps it wasn't the sync but rather one of the regular emerge -uDN world, I remember baselayout and some other crucial packages were in the last one I did...). Any suggestions as to how I might fix that? Do I have to re-emerge portage (from a livecd, I guess) or do I have to mess in some way with some of the profiles? I'm not sure if /usr/bin/emerge got corrupted in some way, or the portage.py, but by the looks of it it seems like it's not portage's fault but rather some mess with the profiles. I'm waiting for suggestions before I do anything as I don't want to screw things worse than they are now (everything else works fine btw).

| This came up on the email list today. I think the solution was to delete 1Q-2006 file and re sync, but I am not sure so don't do that until someone else confirms. |

Sticky posts are generally sticky for a reason.  emerge: KeyError (dev-perl/DateTime-0.2901).
Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads.
