20 I'm having some rather serious difficulties that I think go back to emerge
21 rsync --clean as well ( or maybe emerge -c, I don't know). In any event,
22 after following the instructions for the latest security update (to rebuild
23 glibc) and the juggled net-misc files, I've ended up with an emerge (portage
24 2.0.13) which is severely broken, to the point where, if I just try and do an
25 'emerge -s [somepackage]' I get:
26
27 Traceback (most recent call last):
28 File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1198, in ?
29 searchinstance.output()
30 File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 162, in output
31 print "[ Results for search key : "+white(self.searchkey)+" ]"
32 NameError: global name 'white' is not defined
33
34 Pretty much every other action is also broken ... if I emerge something
35 directly it will merge, but of course, the moment it tries to print any kind
36 of message the same tracebacks occur.
37
38 Anyone know how to fix this?!
