Bug 9281 – emerge db desynced

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description psk 2002-10-18 03:17:10 UTC]

Something went wrong with my installed packages. Paquets that are installed
are marked as uninstalled. (See shot attachment).
   What can I do ?
   emerge -e world ?

[Comment 2 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2002-10-18 03:37:39 UTC]

Does /var/db/pkg still exist? In it, you should find directories named after the 
groups (f.i. net-www) and in those directories you'll find subdirectories named 
after the tools + version (f.i. galeon-1.12-r1). Is this so on your system? 
Because, if it isn't, that's the reason why portage thinks the tools haven't 
been installed yet.

[Comment 4 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2002-10-18 13:35:34 UTC]

What command did you use to get that info?

What portage version?
emerge -V

[Comment 5 psk 2002-11-12 06:50:08 UTC]

emerge -V
Portage 2.0.43 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2, glibc-2.2.5-r4,2.3.1-r1)

[Comment 6 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2002-11-12 11:37:08 UTC]

You are still having this problem?

[Comment 7 psk 2002-11-12 12:29:04 UTC]

Yes, i'd like to make an emerge -e world to restablish the situation, but some
ebuilds are boen (qt, gtk;)

[Comment 8 psk 2003-07-06 14:56:05 UTC]

Outdated, I've solved the problem for month now
