Re: [gentoo-user] emerge hosed .. vartree instance has no attribute 'invalidentry'
For the impatient, running /usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.py, and then (if necessary) delete the lock files it reports. fix-db.py doesn't report lockfiles .. it does report about a million messages like this, though: ERROR: COUNTER file missing from 'x11-plugins/wmsysmon-0.7.6'. ERROR: COUNTER file missing from 'x11-plugins/wmCalClock-1.25'. ERROR: SLOT file is empty for 'sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.18'. RE-MERGE this exact package version or unmerge and remerge it.
