<snip> OK, try doing: emerge --metadata Also, have you done a emerge --sync since this started? Sounds like it might just be a cache corruption - if the cache was corrupted during the rsync process in an emerge--sync, then just doing a emerge --metadata won't help, but if was just corrupted on disk (in the /var/cache/edb dir), then a emerge --metadata might do it.
