It was the same problem I had with my server 10 days ago. The new portage |
2 |
re-did the /var/cache/edb to /var/lib/portage/ |

Here's a snippet from the gentoo site. |

FHS compliance |

This new Portage release introduces some file relocations: |
9 |
|
10 |
* The virtuals file (/var/cache/edb/virtuals) is no longer used. It is |
11 |
now calculated transparently. |
12 |
* The world-file is now located inside /var/lib/portage instead of |
13 |
/var/cache/edb. |
14 |
* /etc/portage/profile/virtuals is for user configurations only. |
15 |
|
16 |
Thanks to the relocation of the world-file and dynamic checking of the |
17 |
virtuals, Portage is now FHS-compliant. For instance, data within /var/cache |
18 |
can be removed at will - it is actually cache data now. |

Subject: [gentoo-alpha] another Portage problem |

|

|
36 |
just emerged the 2.0.51 Portage update. During the |
37 |
update, I got the message: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Checking //var/lib/portage for bad/illegal files: |
40 |
ln: accessing `../../lib/portage/world': No such file |
41 |
or directory |
42 |
|
43 |
|
44 |
Anyone think this is a problem? |
