Hello all ... to the list .. welcome back after the unexplained hiatus.
Often, after an emerge of a particular package, I see this error:
Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg/*sys-fs/devfsd
I have followed all the directions according to the link below ... EXCEPT
for manually patching portage.

Hi,
when I unmerge I get the following error near the end:
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg/[category]/[packagename].portage_lockfile
When emerge finishes there is no file of that name and the package seems

Hello.
Unmerging packages in my system shows
messages about invalid db entry. For
example:
# emerge unmerge mozilla-firebird
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg/net-www/mozilla-firebird-0.7.portage_lockfile
How can this be corrected?
