Well, I'd be chicken to have two packages dealing with /dev at the same |
| 33 |
time, although portage says it is not a blocker. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
For future reference, I went and dug in this path: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
/var/db/pkg/sys-fs |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
It turned out it was just a empty directory and deleting it cleared it |
| 40 |
up. Since it was empty, I guess that was safe enough. If anything was |
| 41 |
in it, then I'd be wanting to make sure it was safe to remove first. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
So, it's fixed. I get a clean eix run and if its happy, I'm happy. ;-) |
