Description Andrei Slavoiu 2017-01-13 10:08:26 UTC

* Building file list for packages cleaning...

!!! Invalid binary package: '/usr/portage/packages/media-gfx/imagemagick-6.9.7.3.tbz2'
!!! Missing metadata key(s): CATEGORY, PF, SLOT. This binary package is not
!!! recoverable and should be deleted.
 * Your packages directory was already clean.

Since it identifies the invalid package it should delete it itself instead of telling the user to delete it manually.

The portage API has a binarytree.invalids list, but unfortunately it doesn't contain full paths. We're probably going to need a new portage API for this.

I believe this one was fixed and patches added to both portage and eclean and since released.

@sam can you confirm please
