post this file please, if you have it still: /var/db/pkg/app-admin/msyslog-1.09a/CONTENTS Then you can 'rm -Rf /var/db/pkg/app-admin/msyslog-1.09a' if you wanna get rid of the package. The 'files' directory shouldn't exist, I wanna verify that the package didn't create it. You've already unmerged the package, so killing the db directory won't hurt. You could/should remove the app-admin/msyslog line from your world file too.
I'm afraid that I killed the msyslog-1.09a directory in /var/db/pkg/app-admin some time ago (using rm -rf).
Bug is alive and kicking. Tried to update dev-perl/ExtUtilsMakeMaker just now. The clean operation (unmerge) gave errno 21 Is a Directory '/var/db/pkg/dev- perl/ExtUtils-Makemaker-6.03-r1/files'
Ok... 6.05 is current for that package. I can't duplicate. Do this please: emerge rsync emerge portage rm -Rf /var/db/pkg/dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/files emerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker
Nothing new on this bug. Closing.
