Subject: [gentoo-user] Regenerate portage cache from scratch following a big toe crash?
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:04:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTim3cSnmH4R5yT5uDvYuoRSHAQEOEUeNE5YFV2XL@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
OK, this is too funny. I'm sitting here in the dark browsing around on
my home machine while I'm doing an eix-sync. I have my legs crossed,
sitting in my chair that swivels, and guess what...my big toe is at
__exactly__ the height of the main power button on my APC UPS, and
darn if I don't hit it and power is gone!
The machine booted and came back up with no obvious problems but when
I tried to continue with the eix-sync I get some pretty messed up
messages, ala:
Can't read cache file

I tried removing the timestamp file to get it to sync again but that
didn't fix it.
How does a big-toe guy regenerate the database emerge --sync normally
keeps for my machine?
Too funny! (Hey - at least I provided a laugh I hope!) :-)))
