It gets in the way of portage. As soon as it finds a profile update it can't 
handle it aborts whatever it's about to do, even if that's syncing.

I got out of this on one box by copying over the profiles from another box 
that wasn't affected. Then a --sync brought it all back into line.

I don't know the portage internals well enough even to know if my
following suggestion is good or bad (and I wonder why isn't your
profiles directory updated by the sync?), but the troublemaking change
is probably the one unmade by this:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/profiles/updates/2Q-2009?r1=1.24&r2=1.25

So, if you're feeling lucky (and nothing else works nor you get any
better advice), you can try removing the reddened line out of your
/usr/portage/profiles/updates/2Q-2009 (I'd make a backup copy before
editing).

After three days, emerge --sync still returns the same error message. Is there
anything I can do on my computer to fix it ?

Thanks. I'll have to wait till the fix reaches my mirror.

Where does it come from ?
How can I fix it ?
Thanks for the help to come...


It's been fixed already.  Resync to get the bugfix.
