Re: [gentoo-alt] prefix svn server down

[Rachel Greenham]

There must indeed have been something odd locally poisoning it. I just  
did rm -rfv /Gentoo/usr/portage/* and... emerge --sync failed  
horribly :-) so i restored /Gentoo/usr/portage/profiles based on a  
hunch informed by stuff in the error messages and emerge --sync is now  
pulling everything down happily, it seems.
