6 This is something that sometimes occurs when you get an out-of-sync
7 portage tree (you are syncing at the same time as the mirror is
8 updating).
9
10 The fix is to just emerge --sync again.
11
12 It can also happen if you use NFS for portage but do not keep the
13 cache up-to-date.

18 The portage cache should be updated automatically at the end of every
19 sync. So no, removing this file would not be necessary.

25 Are you also using NFS for /var/cache/edb? If not, then you need to
26 run emerge --metadata.
