Every time Portage tries to auto-clean packages, the system reports an error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Not sure. Happens every time I portage auto-cleans. Actual Results: >>> Auto-cleaning packages...

I recently upgraded to portage-2.1.2-r12. Also, I recently had a number of filesystem corruptions, but these were apparently fixed with fsck (I wound up with "Filesystem is consistent").
