Hi All, |

I just committed portage 1.5_pre5, which now performs numerous consistency |
| 4 |
checks on cat/pkg strings. Portage should now gracefully handle invalid |
| 5 |
current-packages lines, invalid /var/db/pkg entries, invalid /usr/portage |
| 6 |
entries, and invalid .tbz2 files. It will print Error messages to stdout |
| 7 |
and continue, so that the errors can be detected and eventually corrected. |
| 8 |

If your version of portage is dying because one of your databases |
| 10 |
(current-packages, /var/db/pkg, or /usr/portage) has an invalid entry, simply |
| 11 |
do this: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1. Do a cvs update. |
| 14 |
2. Copy /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/1.5/pym/portage.py to |
| 15 |
/usr/lib/python2.0/portage.py |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If you're not getting python errors, then a simple merge of the new version |
| 18 |
should suffice. |

Let me know if this solves the problem. |
