11 Yes, that's it. From the bug, it seems the problems are in the ebuilds. However, the
12 updated portage's solution is to remove them from the world file. Thus a loop
13 gets created -
14
15 emaint --fix world removes the packages)
16 regenworld adds the packages back in.
17 emerge -uDNav world generatea the error -
18 Problems have been detected with your world file
19 Please run emaint --check world

21 While there are problems, though I'm not sure what exactly they are, the new
22 portage notes them. Then puts itself in a, slow, loop with some hope someone
23 else knows how to fix the problems.

25 The problem portage thinks that exists seems to be with some allowed keywords and
26 masked packages, not as it reports - no ebuilds available. Though, it could be technically
27 argued that using "x86", "~x86", and "-*" in /usr/etc/portage.keywords, on my system
28 is incorrect. It is somewhat misleading to say - no ebuilds available, implying that no
29 ebuilds with the arch keyword of the running system is available.
