Hi, I reported this before and it was suggested, that my harddisc/filessystem may be corrupted. Now I am sure that is not and I am beging for help again ... :)
After doing a (as root): ionice -c 3 nice -19 eix-sync && emerge -pv --verbose --update --deep world and than a (as user) qsearch <item> search: Updating ebuild metacache ... search: initialize_flat(): opening '/usr/portage/metadata/cache/.metadata.x' failed: Permission denied search: initialize_flat(): You should run this command as root: q -m results in a not existent metadatabase. Executing the same command as root gives me: solfire:/root>qsearch <item> search: Updating ebuild metacache ... search: Finished 0 entries in 0.103410 seconds <search result for item> What kills the metadatabase every time and how can I fix that? What I am doing wrong here ? Best regards, mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
