26 Ok, after re-enabling cPickle and upgrading to sys-apps/portage-2.2.00.10788 I get
27
28 Calculating dependencies \!!! Error loading '/opt/gentoo/var/cache/edb/vdb_blockers.pickle': Global and instance pickles are not supported.
29 ... done!

31 After restarting portage, but emerging works fine now. Don't know wether it was cPickle, or the newer portage revision which fixed the problem.
32
33 Still I fear that the vdb_blockers.pickle error is related to cPickle? Os is it some known issue?
34
35 Cheers, Markus
