Back in the old days I had a trusty desktop 286 which sat on a piece of |
| 8 |
furniture at approximately knee level, with a very prominent "reset" |
| 9 |
button on the front panel... need I say more? |

First make sure all your filesystems are ok (touch /forcefsck and reboot). |

Second, I am not sure whether eix is complaining about the portage tree |
| 21 |
metadata (which is rsynced with the rest of the tree and not kept by |
| 22 |
emerge, so it shouldn't get corrupted) or its own cache. |
| 23 |
You can regenerate the former locally with emerge --metadata; if it |
| 24 |
doesn't help (and I don't think it will) I would try deleting the |
| 25 |
contents of /var/cache/eix and manually running eix-update. |
