When I run eix-test-obsolete it reports a strange package:
...
The following installed packages are not in the database:
sys-kernel/-MERGING-gentoo-sources
sys-kernel/-MERGING-gentoo-sources
--
But there is no package by the name sys-kernel/-MERGING-gentoo-sources.
Where does this come from?

It must be some kind of transient emerge side effect, but it happens no
matter if at that time something gets merged or not.

It's very possible that you've interrupted package manager during merge
phase.

Check /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel I guess it has -MERGING-gentoo-sources
directory. Probably it's safe to remove it.

Is there a tool provided to clean this? If not, its probably something
for emaint.
What is the actual effect for the system? Occasionally I found these
folder on my system as well, but I could never relate a problem to it.

Could you open bug report, please?

System have files that are not under control of the package manager.
