There was a post to this list explaining this not long ago. AFAIR, the |
| 8 |
MERGING entries in /var/db/pkg are created while emerge is copying the |
| 9 |
files from the temporary build location to the live filesystem. If they |
| 10 |
are still there, it means that the merge was aborted, perhaps by a crash |
| 11 |
or flat battery, at a potentially critical point. While it should be safe |
| 12 |
to remove these, you should re-emerge the package to make sure your |
| 13 |
installation is consistent. |
