Esync is a part of gentoolkit-- it runs emerge sync and outputs or mails |
| 8 |
you the updated package list (new and upgradeable packages). It's really |
| 9 |
not dangerous in and of itself. |

Isn't what happened that the sync failed before it was able to import |
| 12 |
the new portage tree, but after it had removed the old one? |
| 13 |

I could be wrong-- although I've had several failures to sync in the |
| 15 |
past few days myself (but I didn't check /usr/portage afterwards, since |
| 16 |
I knew it would be borked, but it does support some kind of weird server |
| 17 |
issue), but it seems to me that all that's needed is a successful sync |
| 18 |
to re-populate the Portage tree. |

Afaics, this is one of those "head wound" kinda problems (bleeds a lot |
| 21 |
and looks very scary, but not as serious as it seems at first glance). |

|

But I could be mistaken. |
