attach the file.. probably fs corruption or something, i doubt this is gentoo related.
well, solved it. Somehow the ebuild in: /var/db/pkg/.. differed from the one in my portage tree: /usr/portage/.. any idea how this can happen and how to prevent it?? sorry for the inconvenience ..
well, they can differ if they're a different version.. otherwise it shouldn't happen -> thats why i mentioned 'corruption'
I'm having the same problem, also with differences.

Please reopen, following this one...
My solution was to delete the ebuild in /var/db/pkg/... (it had an older version than the one in the portage tree) .. after that everything went fine. I don't know why there is a permanent copy of an ebuild which can run 'out of sync' .. can anybody enlighten me? What is /var/db/pkg/ for anyway?)
Same solution worked here. Could someone please verify the relation between /usr/portage and /var/db/pkg? Fixing is needed.

maybe the portage folk could have a look, this is the third report..
probably a dupe of bug 46096
Boy - I wish these things wouldn't close before the original poster gets 8 hours to look at it. ;-) Very strange - the /var/db/pkg thing didn't work for me as there wasn't an ebuild there. then I resync'ed and rebuilt gconf. At this point the delete stage didn't happen and everything was fine. I uess oyu guys did something in portage to fix this? I'm confused, but things seem fine right now. Thanks for fixing it. Mystery...
