you could `rm -rf /usr/portage/*` and not worry |
| 2 |
about messing up your system. it'll just take a lot |
| 3 |
longer to complete `emerge rsync`. |
| 4 |
that might be a good idea if you're running an old |
| 5 |
version of portage and/or have old ebuilds. |
| 6 |
`emerge rsync ; emerge portage -u ; emerge world -up` |
