(Was I all > right, in manually butchering /var/cache/edb/dep ?) The fact that the > remaining files contain strange characters is puzzling, indeed. How did you try to remove them? You might need to use the inode mumber to remove them, althouh I think a rm -r should work, too. See <http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/delete-remove-files-with-inode-number.html>. Did you force the fsck with -f? Can you mv the dep directory to another name, and re-create it with emerge --metadata? Alex -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
