29 lists various possible causes, all of which involve complicated or
30 expensive fixes:
31
32 1. with "hard-links"
33 2. without "hard-links"
34 3. /usr/portage is corrupted (/var/db/repos/gentoo in my case, I guess)
35 4. rsync-excludes?
36 5. use a different mirror (but it works for other machines)
37
38 Is there a consensus in the mean time?
