"emerge -up --deep world" stopped immediately giving the advice to run "/usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.pl", which in tune told to delete various directories in "/var/db/pkg". After doing the expected: deleting the given directory, then re-emerging the package, the errors started showing up again... I didn't got happy with this way handling the errors! After some discussion one expected to wipe out the whole directory "/var/db/pkg", re-emerging all packages. This made the errors vanish, but didn't restore the complete package-list. Now I am searching a way to restore the complete list from what is installed. I am sure there must be a way using something like "find . -type f" producing a list of all files on the system, then generating a package list from this one. > What errors with portage?
