I did an emerge-webrsync (i cannot do a normal sync due to router ACL at work) and it finished with this output:

Then there are three options:
a) the snapshot is bad
b) you got two bad mirrors in a row
c) your harddisc has problems

I am quite sure that the harddisk is not bad. I will try to do another emerge-webrsync after i clear the /usr/portage dir.
I found something about a symlink to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/<arch> of /etc/make.profile but there is not x86 dir in that path. Could that be the broblem? Also there is no /usr/portage/eclass/flag-o-matic.eclass file. Is it what's missing from the snapshot?

Argh, someone broke the snapshot, you have to wait until I find someone who can fix it.

I've got the same problem. I can't emerge --sync because of the firewall and can only emerge-webresync.

Here is the problem in a touch more detail:

myhost root # ls -l /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Nov 11 08:51 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.0
myhost root # ls -l /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 8 03:06 alpha
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 8 03:06 amd64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 8 03:06 arm
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 8 21:07 hppa
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 8 03:06 sparc

No x86 profile. :cry:

I don't know why, but this happens to my portage EVERY time I update. I don't update that often, but I seriously consider never updating again.
Maybe the use of an older snapshot works fine. Someone try that?

If we just wait ... will the snapshots be fixed?

Ok, we have new fixed tarball but it will take several hours until it hits the mirrors.

By chance do you know the main mirror I can grab it off, I need to install some tools on my machine and right now this is a bad day to have this happen hehe.

1) download the bad 20041208 portage snapshot into /var/tmp/emerge-webrsync
