Thanks. Could you tar up /var/db/pkg/app-benchmarks/cpuburn-1.4a-r3 and upload it here? May be useful to see the recover-broken-vdb --verbose output too, and maybe the scan tool (-find-broken.sh) output for completeness.

Patch seems to work. # recover-broken-vdb >>> Scanning system. This may take a few minutes. >>> Found 1 packages to fix >>> Writing to output directory: /tmp/tmpkhjh90gf >>> Fixing VDB for app-benchmarks/cpuburn-1.4a-r3 ??? Tried to write blank entry=REQUIRES for pkg=app-benchmarks/cpuburn-1.4a-r3. Likely harmless. Skipping entry. >>> Generated fixed VDB files for app-benchmarks/cpuburn-1.4a-r3 >>> Written to output directory: /tmp/tmpkhjh90gf # I then continued to complete the process per the news article. I also re-ran the process and it did not identify any broken packages. Please commit the change. One query - given cpuburn is a binary only package, surely an emerge world is not required afterwards as the article suggests?

Done in 0.0.9, thanks!
Thank you Sam :)
