I did in fact see this once on a virtual Gentoo server. Given the
circumstances in that case we chose to reinstall the server and so I
did not analyze the problem in depth. I remember that I tried
modifying the db parameters since I read somewhere on the web that
this might be connected to memory issues. But it did not help.

If this occurs on OpenPKG servers too we should probably open a bug
about this and debug it in detail.

Cheers,

Gunnar
