I guess some changes have been made to portage. When I ran into this a |
| 33 |
while back, it error'd out right after the sync process. I had to |
| 34 |
create the new link the run emerge --metadata so that it could finish |
| 35 |
processing the database which I guess is part two. |

Anyway, glad all is well. |
