 |
|
Whenever I unmerge a package, I get this at the end:
!!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg/[category]/[packagename].portage_lockfile
Portage 2.0.49-r13-2 |

I get this with baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1.portage.lockfile being the problem. It appears that unmerging baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1 when I emerged baselayout-1.8.6.11 fails. It gives an error, which I'll post in a minute when my emerge finishes and tells me what it is.
Here's the tail end of the 1.8.6.10-r1 unmerging, plus the error

That means that you changed something about /mnt/cdrom, probably using supermount? Anyway, it's unrelated to the invalid db entry error. |

I am using supermount... but what does the cdrom have to do with portage and unmerging baseutils?
Edit: and the errors showed up at the same time. |

| because if you try to enter a supermounted directory when there is no media, you get an I/O error. baselayout has a .keep file in /mnt/cdrom |

| So how would I fix this? Unmount the supermount? Or put a CD in? |
