[gentoo-dev] [gentoo-user] emerge error - removing old packages?

[Reinhard Brandstädter]

Hi!

recently I get these messages every time I'm using emerge.
After any operation e.g. merging a new package I get this complaining
about package kbd:

>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...

/var/db/pkg/*sys-fs/devfsd

    protected: 1.08-r4
      omitted: none

     if (pkgfiles[obj][0] not in ("dir","fif","dev","sym")) and (lmtime

Any idea what this means? Or how I can resolve it?

or even the Bug report on bugs.gentoo.org ... just search for 
'/var/db/pkg/*sys-fs/devfsd' and it'll probably be the only match

Well but it's not only the Invalid db-entry for devfsd - I read about
that one - but more the lines at the end that concern me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2226, in ?
     unmerge("clean", ["world"])
   File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1608, in unmerge

     mylink.unmerge(trimworld=mytrimworld)
