This would have been quicker than rebuilding absolutely everything! You obviously have time, as you just did an emerge -e world ;) Unfortunately I don't think you'll be better off blindly fixing it - what if it happens again? What if a similar thing happens to a different package? Just switching mail-clients wont help - any package is potentially open to crashing. Take the time now to find out why, and save yourself time in the future, IMHO :) but glad it's working again. cya, -- Iain Buchanan Misfortunes arrive on wings and leave on foot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
