Hi, the emerge of hylafax produced the following error:

Can anyone shed some light???

Thanks!

Funny thing I do a emerge search and get that it is installed. I try an unmerge and get the following:

blemail root # emerge search hylafax
[ Results for search key : hylafax ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

* net-misc/hylafax
Latest version Available: 4.1.2-r1
Latest version Installed: 4.1.2-r1
Homepage: http://www.hylafax.org
Description:
Fax package for class 1 and 2 fax modems.

blemail root # emerge unmerge hylafax
The ebuild '/var/db/pkg/net-misc/hylafax-4.1.2-r1/hylafax-4.1.2-r1.ebuild' couldn't be found.
Your portage installation tree seems to be corrupted.

Couldn't find any matching installed packages.

Hi!

Try remerging using the low level ebuild command

#ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/hylafx/hylafx-4.1.2-r1.ebuild merge
