This is something that sometimes occurs when you get an out-of-sync portage tree (you are syncing at the same time as the mirror is updating). The fix is to just emerge --sync again. It can also happen if you use NFS for portage but do not keep the cache up-to-date. > re-merge it without --usepkg.

If not, then you need to run emerge --metadata. -Richard PS: Please avoid top-posting here. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
