To me that doesn't look like filesystem stuff. I think something murdered |
| 29 |
your portage cache. I'd try and axe the whole thing (if possible) and |
| 30 |
rebuild it all. Could take a long time, but it could work. |

Also, if those two packages aren't installed right now, it looks like all it's |
| 33 |
complaining about is the absence of one line. You could possibly find a way |
| 34 |
to hand-write the missing data, and see if that shuts it up. |

I'm no expert, but that's my first impression. |
