Hello. |

|
| 3 |
I cannot emerge --sync my system anymore, as this brings out the |
| 4 |
following error : |
| 5 |
>>> Updating Portage cache: Traceback (most recent call last): |
| 6 |
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 5530, in ? |

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: |

|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, it looks like the problem is with the content of the directory |
| 23 |
/var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/net-misc/ |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
localhost net-misc # cd /var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/net-misc/ |
| 26 |

|
| 39 |
This shows that the offending file somehow exists (?); but these files |
| 40 |
cannot be accessed, as the ls command shows : |
| 41 |
localhost net-misc # ls |
| 42 |
ls: cannot access vmpsd-1.3-r: No such file or directory |

|
| 49 |
Is my filesystem damaged ? |
| 50 |
rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/net-misc has no effect on these |
| 51 |
problematic files ; I have executed fsck.ext2 on the filesystem, and |
| 52 |
this reported no error. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Many thanks for your helpful suggestions. |
