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. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31881 Nothing has worked. However, what I need to know is if there is an actual process to fix this. If not, the patch needs to be commited to "stable" (x86) ASAP or the current version of portage in stable needs to be revoked as unstable. Is there anything I should do in the meantime? I don't relish the patch because of the possibility of the bug coming back if the package were refreshed. Tom Veldhouse -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
