Further workaround: |
| 20 |
The problem is apparently caused by peculiar version numbers in |
| 21 |
media-fonts/ja-ipafonts |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Delete $PORTDIR/metadata/cache/media-fonts/ja-ipafonts* |
| 24 |
and rerun update-eix. It will complete. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The metadata files will be replaced on the next sync by which time there will |
| 27 |
hopefully be an update that fixes the underlying problem. |
