I installed gentoo from a stage 3 tarball and then added the binary packet for x11 with the grp script and the xfree-list.txt file. I changed the xfree-list.txt to xfree-list-mod.txt so it would only merge x11, because the dependencies were already compiled. When i type emerge -p world, i recieve the following error: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies !!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg//sys-kernel !!!

I fixed the bug, by deleting the line "/xfree-list-mod.txt" in the file /var/cache/edb/world. Sorry for the bug report.
