1 Hey all,
2
3 I got a power here, which after I had to run fsck... well there where
4 some troubled Inodes and I choosed yes to repair them.
5 So far so good, system booted well, but now I cannot emerge anything at all.
6
7 emerge --info tells me as normal user:
8 emerge: incomplete set configuration, missing set(s): "world" and "system"
9 This usually means that '/usr/share/portage/config/sets.conf'
10 is missing or corrupt.
11 as su I get a bunch of these messages:
12 Parse Error reading PROVIDE and USE in '/var/db/pkg/kde-base/libkdeedu-3.5.10'
13 Exception: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 19:
14 ordinal not in range(128)

42 emerge --regen tells me the same...
