Description Riccardo 2004-02-03 12:38:34 UTC 
I have a clean install, done frome stage3 of gentoo-hppa, as of today I have no newer versions of portage available.

issuing a emerge -G always causes the following error:

Fetching binary packages info...
cache miss: 'x' --- cache hit: 'o'

!!! Failed to write binary metadata to disk!
!!! modified
  -- DONE!

we're gonna need a lot more info here ... `emerge info` and what GRP host are you using for starters
Comment 2 Riccardo 2004-02-03 15:33:29 UTC 
in make.conf I have:
PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://dev.gentoo.org/~gmsoft/grp/grp-hppa-20040114/"

and emerge info tells me:

append "All" to the PORTAGE_BINHOST variable, see `man make.conf`.
