   I have encountered a problem which I cannot seem to solve.   
      
   When I am doing an 'emerge --sync' it fails with the following error:   
      
   >>> Updating Portage cache:   89%Traceback (most recent call last):   
     File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6971, in    
       retval = emerge_main()   
     File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 6926, in emerge_main   
       action_sync(settings, trees, mtimedb, myopts, myaction)   
     File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 5409, in action_sync   
       action_metadata(settings, portdb, myopts)   
     File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 5503, in action_metadata   
       eclass_cache=ec, verbose_instance=noise_maker)   
     File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/cache/util.py", line 43, in mirror_cache   
       trg = trg_cache[x]   
     File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/cache/flat_hash.py", line 28, in __getitem__   
       d = self._parse_data(myf, cpv)   
     File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/cache/flat_hash.py", line 43, in _parse_data   
       d = dict(map(lambda x:x.rstrip("\n").split("=", 1), data))   
      
   I have tried recovering the portage tree etc. but nothing seems to work. Any   
   ideas are highly appreciated!   
      
   TIA
