Helloooo... I did a emerge rsync and then a emerge -pu perl It showed portage and python was going to upgrade aswell, oh well, let it do as it wants to I thought and removed the -p. Now it unmerged most of my system, including portage and python. viking files # cat /var/cache/edb/world net-misc/iputils net-analyzer/traceroute net-irc/irssi sys-apps/iproute dev-db/mysql net-mail/postfix Any thoughts about this? I made a PORTAGE.RESCUE dance so now I have portage, but still no python. Also the worldfile seems abit false because I have some stuff like apache left... only thing I managed to scroll back and see was a unmerge of textutils, then my buffer was full. I dont run any ~x86 stuff and I use gentoo 1.2 (gcc 2.95.3) -- Christan Axelsson smiler@lanil.mine.nu If it ain't broken, I cant fix it.
