[gentoo-user] emerge --sync fails with CacheCorruption

[Grant]

Whenever I try to emerge --sync my laptop it fails like this:

>>> Updating Portage cache:   18%Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6474, in ?
    retval = emerge_main()

    return flat_hash.database.__getitem__(self, cpv)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/cache/flat_hash.py", line 38, in __getitem__
    raise cache_errors.CacheCorruption(cpv, e)
cache.cache_errors.CacheCorruption: dev-games/ode-0.8 is corrupt:
[Errno 5] Input/output error

I thought it was disc space but I have plenty.
