This is not the way to fix it. |
12 |
This only forces portage to retrieve *all* of portage's metadata from the |
13 |
server *again*. If the corruption is local, a normal rsync will fix this. If |
14 |
the corruption is on the upstream rsync mirror, you will retrieve the same |
15 |
corrupt metadata again. |
16 |
|
17 |
removing the metadata from the portage tree only results in more data |
18 |
transfers from the rsync mirror. |

This error will resolve itself when the corruption is synced out, upstream or |
21 |
local. To speed that process up, you can switch to a different rsync mirror |
22 |
and sync against that. That will eliminate both possible corruptions. |
