[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.

[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
