1 Hi,
2
3 I reported this before and it was suggested, that my
4 harddisc/filessystem may be corrupted. Now I am sure
5 that is not and I am beging for help again ... :)
6
7 After doing a (as root):
8
9 ionice -c 3 nice -19 eix-sync && emerge -pv --verbose --update --deep world
10
11 and than a (as user)
12
13 qsearch <item>
14 search: Updating ebuild metacache ...
15 search: initialize_flat(): opening '/usr/portage/metadata/cache/.metadata.x' failed: Permission denied
16 search: initialize_flat(): You should run this command as root: q -m
17
18 results in a not existent metadatabase.
19
20 Executing the same command as root gives me:
21
22 solfire:/root>qsearch <item>
23 search: Updating ebuild metacache ...
24 search: Finished 0 entries in 0.103410 seconds
25 <search result for item>
26
27 What kills the metadatabase every time and how can I fix that? What I
28 am doing wrong here ?
29
30 Best regards,
31 mcc
