A blank line, and 2.2.
I grepped in /var/cache/edb, nothing there, and locate binutils|grep text
also showed nothing. Just in case this could mean anything.
Then I tried emerge --metadata, and suddenly the problem is gone. Whatever
it was. Wow, now I have 872 packages to emerge.
Thanks for your help, Bo!
Do you think I should file a bug, so the devs become aware of this potential
problem, or should we just hope it never happens again? I still wonder
what may have caused this, looks to me like something got corrupted badly.
