[gentoo-amd64] Portage errors

[Matthew Daubenspeck]

I just finished a brand spanking new AMD64 install and I am now getting
strange portage errors at the end of an rsync:

>>> Starting rsync with rsync://192.168.0.4/portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...

Any suggestions?

RE: [gentoo-amd64] Portage errors

[David Pyke]

Delete usr/portage/sys-admin/syslong-ng and re-resync.  It should fix it up
