I recently started using "-k" in my emerge calls. Since them there is an increasing list of "!!! Invalid db entry: ..." messages on each emerge call.

Should I stay with portage 2.0.53 or should I go back to portage 2.0.51? I am asking it because I only upgraded from 2.0.51 to 2.0.53 in hope of fixing these issues. As it seems 2.0.53 has nothing to do with the intended solution, it might be safer to got back to 2.0.51. Please advise.

Should there be only directories inside '/var/db/pkg/All/'?
Do those files or links exist? If they do, they shouldn't. Did you at some stage set PKGDIR to "/var/db/pkg"?
(In reply to comment #6) > Do those files or links exist? Yes. > If they do, they shouldn't. Should I delete them? > Did you at some stage set PKGDIR to "/var/db/pkg"? Not that I am aware of.
I removed all references to .tbz2 files inside /var/db/pkg and things seem to be fine now. I really don't remember setting PKGDIR to /var/db/pkg but I can be wrong. I am closing this bug.
