20 Granted I don't know your setup, but having nothing installed from
21 sys-fs/* seems a little odd to me. For example, I have the following
22 packages installed from the sys-fs category:
23
24 eix -cI\#C sys-fs
25 sys-fs/btrfs-progs
26 sys-fs/cryptsetup
27 sys-fs/e2fsprogs
28 sys-fs/fuse
29 sys-fs/lvm2
30 sys-fs/ntfs3g
31 sys-fs/udev
32 sys-fs/udev-init-scripts
33 sys-fs/udisks
34
35 Accordingly, I have the following in /var/db/pkg/sys-fs/
36
37 ls -lhn /var/db/pkg/sys-fs
38 total 0
39 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 534 2015-09-14 09:51 btrfs-progs-4.2
40 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 520 2015-09-10 11:14 cryptsetup-1.6.8
41 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 494 2015-09-10 12:56 e2fsprogs-1.42.13
42 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 494 2015-09-10 18:29 fuse-2.9.4
43 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 526 2015-09-10 21:41 lvm2-2.02.116
44 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 520 2015-09-10 11:13 ntfs3g-2015.3.14
45 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 538 2015-09-10 22:21 udev-225
46 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 464 2015-09-10 19:02 udev-init-scripts-30
47 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 512 2015-09-11 03:26 udisks-2.1.6

49 If you legitimately don't have anything installed from the sys-fs
50 category, then all should be safe I guess; but if you do, then other
51 mysteries may be afoot...
