emerge: Traceback (most recent call last) [РЕШЕНО]

Сегодня обнаружил, что на все опции кроме --sync система portage реагирует так:

# emerge --info
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 43, in <module>
    retval = emerge_main()

Пробовал FAQ, пробовал http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml и даже мучил Google. Не помогает ничего.
