X-Archives-Salt: 96d61082-ad11-4f1a-9cdd-b35413af6976 X-Archives-Hash: 441b76435c09e2f9aff8c206d5faba7e Hi, Fist let me say that portage is indeed a great tool. I love this idea of everything been compiled from the sources with the options that I choose, and the dependences generated on the flight. I've subscribed to this list because I'm having some serios trouble with portage that I`ve reported as a bug report (bug #37823). Marius Mauch suggested me to use fix-db.pl or fix-db.py. The first one ran without errors, the last with a lot of anoying error messages about corrupted counters, but anyhow this did not solve the problem. I don't know what this counters are for or how they are suppose to work. I could not find any documentation on that or about the portage internals, so I decided to ask you. Please help me.
