Subject: [gentoo-dev] Error installing packages (CATEGORY info missing from info chunk)

1 Hello,

7 - whenever I try to emerge a new package, the installation process fails
8 with the message
9
10 !!! CATEGORY info missing from info chunk, aborting...
11
12 This happens on a system that has been installed from a Gentoo i686 LiveCD
13 (1.4) a while ago and is now "emerge rsync"ing and "emerge -U world"ing for
14 the first time. The only packages that installed fine was the upgrade to
15 portage-2.0.50-r1 and (after that) gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre6. Now I'm stuck...
16 does anybody have an idea what is wrong there?
