Granted I don't know your setup, but having nothing installed from
sys-fs/* seems a little odd to me. For example, I have the following
packages installed from the sys-fs category:
eix -cI\#C sys-fs
sys-fs/btrfs-progs
sys-fs/cryptsetup
sys-fs/e2fsprogs
sys-fs/fuse
sys-fs/lvm2
sys-fs/ntfs3g
sys-fs/udev
sys-fs/udev-init-scripts
sys-fs/udisks
Accordingly, I have the following in /var/db/pkg/sys-fs/
ls -lhn /var/db/pkg/sys-fs
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 534 2015-09-14 09:51 btrfs-progs-4.2
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 520 2015-09-10 11:14 cryptsetup-1.6.8
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 494 2015-09-10 12:56 e2fsprogs-1.42.13
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 494 2015-09-10 18:29 fuse-2.9.4
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 526 2015-09-10 21:41 lvm2-2.02.116
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 520 2015-09-10 11:13 ntfs3g-2015.3.14
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 538 2015-09-10 22:21 udev-225
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 464 2015-09-10 19:02 udev-init-scripts-30
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 512 2015-09-11 03:26 udisks-2.1.6
If you legitimately don't have anything installed from the sys-fs
category, then all should be safe I guess; but if you do, then other
mysteries may be afoot...
