It works again. No idea why. Johnny That's strange I'm getting the exact same error -- rsync: link_stat "/metadata/timestamp.chk" (in gentoo-portage) failed: No such file or directory (2) I've tried changeing my GENTOO_MIRRORS and SYNC servers but that doesn't help -- any ideas? Thanks... emerge --info follows....

I should have looked up on google more thoroughly. Because the simple solution is: emerge --metadata && emerge --sync My apologieses... Ignore my previous post. This is happening to me. It happened when I tried to sync initially and when I: 1) Deleted my whole /usr/portage 2) Downloaded http://gentoo.osuosl.org/snapshots/portage-20090406.tar.bz2 3) Unpacked above like normal 4) Tried to "emerge --sync" again Incase anyone else runs into this issue: just delete your /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk file (In reply to comment #7) > Incase anyone else runs into this issue: just delete your > /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk file > It's not helping. What helped me was: rm /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk touch /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk emerge --sync (In reply to comment #8) > What helped me was: > rm /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk > touch /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.chk > emerge --sync > I had this same issue as well. That worked for me. I just had the same problem. None of the sugested solutions worked for me. Instead a single run of emerge-webrsync fixed the problem. Hi, today I ran into the same problem. So I google a while and found this bugreport here. I tried all posted solutionsb but noone helps really. As I was tried the emerge-websync feature I got this message. arko ~ # emerge-webrsync Fetching most recent snapshot ... * Latest snapshot date: 20100120 * * Approximate snapshot timestamp: 1264038300 * Current local timestamp: 1264079101 * * The current local timestamp is newer than the timestamp of the latest * snapshot. In order to force sync, use the --revert option or remove * the timestamp file located at '/usr/portage/metadata/timestamp.x'. May it be that this is a sync problem for the rsync server ??? j0inty (In reply to comment #11) > Hi, > > today I ran into the same problem. So I google a while and found this bugreport > here.

I think you can solve your problem by waiting a day or two (undtil the rsync server is updated with a new timestamp) and then run emerge-webrsync |
