Hello everybody!
This is my first post to the mailing list. So please forgive me if i am
doing something wrong...
I have a serious issue with portage because my hard disk (file system)
has been damaged. Now i am unable to detect wether the problem is
caused by portage or not.
However if i try to emerge net-wireless/ipw3945d i get the following error:
>>> Completed installing ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4
into /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4/image/
* QA Notice: Pre-stripped files found:

raise KeyError(mycpv)
KeyError: 'net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4'
And nothing has been merged. ANY help on this would be appreciated, as i am
using my laptop quite often and wireless is a must have for me. I also
started a thread in the gentoo forums where more information about my system
and tries i have made to compensate the file system errors can be found. You
may want to have a look at it here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-535125-highlight-.html
Sadly no one could help me to resolve my issue until now. It would be great if
you guys could.
Thank you
Patrick

Your filesystem seems to be badly fu...ehm, fscked up. In the forums
people already told you the error you are having comes from a failing
I/O operation on some file on your filesystem.
You should have to identify what's rotten and what is not. This is
probably a painful and difficult process, and you won't never, ever be
sure everything is OK again. If I were in you, I'd reinstall. I know it
is not the answer you were looking for but...
Anyway, scary to see an ext3 filesystem crashing so badly.

I notice in the forum you say you had a hard drive crash. The first
thing to do is check the status of the drive itself (smartmontools or
similar), and if it is ok, then poke around in dmesg and
/var/log/messsages for ext3 filesystem problems.
regards
Mark
P.s : is it hard drive crash month or something?

Hello!
Thank you guys. I am able to merge ipw3945d again.
The clue was that "/var/db/pkg/net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4"
was a file instead of a directory. I removed it and installed ipw3945d again.
But i guess a reinstall will be unavoidable anyway. :(
Patrick
