Maybe something could be done with that (though quickpkg is not part of @system). However, in general big moves like this are never going to be easy to recover from. If you have sed scripts cleaning up config files or whatever who knows what the previous values were. I think any kind of large-scale directory moves are going to be risky on a distro like Gentoo. We should probably give them careful thought before implementing them. This isn't something like Ubuntu where you practically wipe and re-install all of /usr a few times a year from what amounts to a bunch of tarballs. Rich
