Bug 17471 – man dep-clean displays garbage

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description David 2003-03-13 18:52:52 UTC]

Happens every time. Also, this locks the terminal. The garbage looks 
like a part of my /etc/fstab with some hex numbers mixed in. 
 
1.4rc3 on pentium3

[Comment 3 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-03-16 16:25:02 UTC]

please reboot
boot only into bash
then fsck you filesystem

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2003-03-21 11:18:25 UTC]

filesystem got corrupted, fsck it like mholzer said to and then `emerge portage` to clean up the manpages

[Comment 5 David 2003-03-24 15:50:56 UTC]

fsck (specifically  reiserfsck --check /dev/hda4) reports that the system  
is clean.   
emerge poratge  has no effect on the problem   

[Comment 6 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-03-24 16:14:27 UTC]

try
emerge sync
emerge -puD --world

watch out important system packages

[Comment 7 David 2003-03-26 16:28:09 UTC]

Following emerge sync... 
 
olifant root # emerge -puD --world 
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
