Description Brad Garrison 2002-11-26 15:41:15 UTC

Installed gentoo 1.2 from scratch; didn't do an emerge rsync before install 
because ran into this problem on previous install. Performed emerge rsync after 
install and now any emerge except for emerge rsync or emerge sync fails with 
error above in subject line. tar.bz2 the /var/cache/edb/dep/ as requested by 
carpaski and rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/ but still having problem.
