9 Thanks guys. Emerge metadata creates multiple errors (here's an extract):
10 =========================
11 Failed cache update: dev-libs/gmime-2.1.14-r1 "Corruption detected
12 when reading key 'gmime-2.1.14-r1': dictionary update sequence element
13 #0 has length 1; 2 is required"
14
15 Failed cache update: dev-libs/gmime-2.1.9-r3 "Corruption detected when
16 reading key 'gmime-2.1.9-r3': dictionary update sequence element #0
17 has length 1; 2 is required"
18 =========================
19
20 What now? Shall I delete /var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage, or some
21 other file/directory too?
