25 OK, try doing:
26
27 emerge --metadata
28
29 Also, have you done a emerge --sync since this started?

31 Sounds like it might just be a cache corruption - if the cache was
32 corrupted during the rsync process in an emerge--sync, then just doing
33 a emerge --metadata won't help, but if was just corrupted on disk (in
34 the /var/cache/edb dir), then a emerge --metadata might do it.
