Description 

Unhandled exception:
  * In program paludis --log-level qa --regenerate-installable-cache:
  * When performing cache regeneration action from command line:
  * When generating repository names cache at '/home/betelgeuse/overlay/.cache/names/betelgeuse':
  * mkdir '/home/betelgeuse/overlay/.cache/names' failed: No such file or directory (paludis::FSError)

After mkdir .cache it works.

  • Summary changed from paludis fails to create cache dir if parents don't exist to Unhandled Exception if cache dir parents don't exist

Ok. Then it should not print Unhandled exception but an error message about parent not existing.

Mm, I'd say the existing message is pretty obvious... But patches will be taken to make it more obvious.
