Today I did

Code:

emerge --sync

and, after lots of normal output, I got this error message. Now, if I try the same command again, I immediately get

Code:

Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2006
(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
.='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move'
s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*'
...........
pTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 4049, in ?
emerge_main()
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3770, in emerge_main
portage.global_updates(settings, trees, mtimedb["updates"])
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 6656, in global_updates
myupd)
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_update.py", line 198, in update_config_files
write_atomic(updating_file, "".join(file_contents[x]))
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 728, in write_atomic
f.close()
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_util.py", line 696, in close
os.rename(self.name, self._real_name)
OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy

What can this mean? How can I return to a self-consistent state?
