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? |
