Invalid token '1999-2017' (not '=')

I'm running this script for upgrades:

#!/bin/sh
ego sync
emerge --sync
layman -S
emerge -uavDN @world

But today I'm getting the error message from the title. The full message is:

Quote

"/var/git/meta-repo/kits/core-kit/profiles/base/make.defaults", line 1: Invalid token '1999-2017' (not '=')

That means one of those scripts removes the # sign from the first line of that file. There is an other error before:

Already up to date.
Sync successful and kits in alignment! :)
Updating /etc/portage/repos.conf...
Updating profiles at /etc/portage/make.profile/parent...

    self._do_package_moves()
  File "/usr/share/ego/modules/sync.ego", line 46, in _do_package_moves
    import portage
ImportError: No module named 'portage'

Full output here. I'm not aware of having changed anything related to this. How can I fix this?

You mean portage/ego relies on python 2 and I should select that?

I chose No. 3,

Same issue here. Looks like a # missing

Otakku, I hadn't seen your. Though your thread is marked [solved] without there being a fix in the thread. How did you solve it? I can of course add the # to the file, but when I try to upgrade it gets removed again.

are you using the profile 1.2 global ?

[kris]

eselect python list

select python, this should solve the problem.

I think so, doesn't that follow from the log file output? Where do I check that?

Hm, an incompatibility with python 3.4 would be bad. But it seems it works now. So, what I did:

sudo eselect python set 3

to select python 3.5, and then I re-added the missing # to the first line of /var/git/meta-repo/kits/core-kit/profiles/base/make.defaults. Now the upgrade commands reacht the step of calculating dependencies, unlike before. Thanks.
