I get a traceback whenever I try to run emerge sync or emerge. I think this was caused be me deleting all the tbz2 binary packages in the /usr/bin/packages folder.
I know what I did to cause the error, now is there somebody who really knows portage who can explain WHY this happens!

Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2003
(Could take a couple minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
.='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move'
