[gentoo-user] rebuild /var/db/pkg
Hello, To make a long story short, I've lost db/pkg and I would like to rebuild.it . I only found two vero old posts : one in the forum (from 2007 or something) and another in the intertube by a lost gentoo user. Anyone is aware of some new info about this? Thanks in advance for this.

Think how much worse it would be if you actually deserved all the bad things that happen to you. In this case, consider it a learning experience. anyway, it's no real hardship to run emerge world, it's not as if you have to recompile each individual program manually. -- Neil Bothwick Electric chairs are period furniture: they end a sentence signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] rebuild /var/db/pkg?
I've deleted almost all entries in /var/db/pkg. Now portage wants to reinstall a lot of packages which are already on my system. Does anyone know a way to rebuild this database without actually recompile all the packages? Thanks Matthias -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
