I'm seeing a quirk in portpeek on one of two machines with similar installations. Portpeek responds with, for example,
package.keywords: Could not find file etc/portage/package.keywords Note the absence of an initial slash. The program executes correctly from "/" as a working directory. The system is up to date, x86 with ~x86 as required for KDE-4.2 and a handful of others. Python 2.5.4 is the only version installed, and the behavior is the same with eselect-python-20090801 or -20090804. I've tried simply re-emerging portage, portpeek, eselect, and python-eselect with no effect, and seen the same behavior with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5 and 2.6/30-r4. My other machine with the same versions of the packages that are likely to be related executes portpeek from any working directory, as did the machine in question until a few weeks ago. Any tips on where to look next?
