O.k. So for FreeMiNT I've setup a binhost. And when I use

emerge -gK vim

I get ...

Calculating dependencies... done!

All ebuilds that could satisfy >=app-admin-eselect-vi-1.1.6 have been
masked.
One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
app-admin/eselect-vi-1.1.6 (masked by: missing EPREFIX)

But when using....

emerge -g vim

it gets further, but when trying to pull in dev-util/ctags I get a large
backtrace as it tries to do...

(Last few lines...)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/BinpkgPrefetcher.py", line 38, in
_verifier_exit
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/bintree.py", line 940, in
inject _movefile(filename, new_filename, mysettings=self.settings)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py", line 492, in _movefile
"mv '%s' '%s'" % (src, dest))
PortageException: mv '/usr/portage/packages/dev-util/ctags-5.8.tbz2'
'/usr/portage/packages/dev-util/ctags-5.8.tbz2'

Any ideas to both points ?

This looks like a problem
in /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/dbapi/bintree.py that does a _movefile()
operation without checking if the source & destination filenames are the
same.

If I put a check in that does that, it works fine.
