I have FEATURES="-metadata-transfer" in my /etc/make.conf per Portage upgrade instructions. I took it out and tried emerge --sync and got slightly different output:

I've attempted to sync again this morning, with the same result. I'm guessing it's some kind of local cache corruption. How do I fix it?

I also just tried `emerge --regen`, which appeared to succeed, though it spewed many errors like this:

error processing x11-wm/metacity-2.12.3, continuing... (x11-wm/metacity-2.12.3 is corrupt: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required)

Same result when I try to actually emerge --update world though. Cache still b0rken. Help please! :(

I did an `strace emerge --pretend --update world` and found that the corrupt files were under /var/cache/edb/dep, so I mv'ed that dir to dep.corrupt. emerge --update now works fine. Any other fallout I should be aware of?

Deleting the mentioned Directory saved my life - THANK YOU!

All of my gentoo boxes randomly started doing this on different packages today. Killing off that "/var/cache/edb/dep/" sure saved me too :)

Hmmm, it didn't do anything for me... resyncing and updating portage cache took ages and ended up with the same error.
What is really wrong here?

EDIT: not just removing /var/cache/edb/dep, but the whole /var/cache/edb directory did the trick

All machines that I don't synced more than a 6 months had the same problem today. In all cases deleting "/var/cache/edb/dep/" directory helped. Many thanks.

i´m not 100% sure but it looks like a simliar problem i had once : does removing /usr/portage/metadata/cache + running emerge --sync later fix your problem ?

Oh, and don´t delete the the hole edb directory, that will fsck up things badly ( at least here it did) !

cheers
