Description Souleyman 2006-12-06 10:42:49 UTC

Hi, i'am having some troubles with emerge --sync since 2 days.
I got an error when I try to sync an x86_64 computer 
cache.cache_errors.CacheCorruption: app-admin/webmin-1.290 is corrupt: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required

When i try an emerge --metadata it works fine.

I have done some tests :
rm -rf /usr/portage/*-*
rm -rf /usr/portage/metadata/*
rm -rf /usr/portage/app-admin/webmin/meta*xml  /usr/portage/metadata/cache/app-admin/webmin*

And every time i got the same error
