I did an emerge -u --deep system -p and it showed nothing to be done. I was doing the emerge -u --deep world when I got this error.

I'm doing an upgrade to XFree after an emerge synch. It goes for a long time then gives this error:

!!! [Errno 22] Invalid argument

What argument???? Is the ebuild porked - I sure didn't give it any argument.

I had one package (not XFree) with similarly bizarre error message:
permission denied. This message went away after I did a deep update of
world. So I suggest you try
emerge -uD system
Or if it doesn't solve the situation
emerge -uD world


It's likely that the XFree 4.3.0 ebuild uses some Portage feature which
is not available, or which works differently, in your version of
Portage.
