I have had a partition running full while emerging media-libs/libsdl at date 2003-09-22. I noticed this by having noticed an unfamiliar erroressage while ebuilding: awk: cmd. line:2: (FILENAME=/etc/init.d/xfs FNR=290) warning: error writing to standard output (broken pipe) I reconfigured the partitions and played back the freshly made backup, thinking this would be fine. Today I have made an emerge sync and due to a new update to portage, I emerged portage. Above error repeated while ebuilding but I thought, give it a try, maybe the recalculating phase would fix anything. So I emerged openssh. I have found the above error message again and additionally the following message and order: !!! COUNTER file is missing for sys-devel/gcc-3.2-r1 in /var/db. !!! Please run /usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.pl So I executed fix-db.pl but it just says: Grabbing db-contents... fix-db: fatal: # of ebuilds doesn't match # of CONTENTS files So I looked at the code and did a wc -l to the two tests being made for *.ebuild and CONTENTS. Indeed there are 467 *.ebuild found and 468 CONTENT. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge a package 2. watch the messages 3. Actual Results: fix-db.pl is not able to fix the error described, nor do I know what to do now. Expected Results: fix-db.pl should have fixed the problem or told me what to do.
