Please provide output of

# ls /usr/portage/xfce-extra -la
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-11-08 06:23:34 UTC
and try to run `rm -r /usr/portage/xfce-extra` ... see if `dmesg` has any
funny messages ... imo looks like file system corruption

Comment 4 Giorgos Akrivas 2005-11-08 06:39:35 UTC
SpanKY, dmesg does give lots of funny messages. I guess that my ReiserFS /usr 
filesystem is corrupted.
