please reboot boot only into bash then fsck you filesystem
filesystem got corrupted, fsck it like mholzer said to and then `emerge portage` to clean up the manpages
fsck (specifically reiserfsck --check /dev/hda4) reports that the system is clean. emerge poratge has no effect on the problem
try emerge sync emerge -puD --world watch out important system packages
Following emerge sync... olifant root # emerge -puD --world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!
