Holmes] Most of my problems came in the stage of the revdep-rebuild things simply wouldn't build. I finally solved it by un-installing as many of the offending packages as I could, multiple emerge --sync and about 10 attempts at revdep-rebuild NOT a process I wanna go through again -- believe me!!! -- sadly -- I don't have a choice -- ive already got one machine that wont upgrade until I do it - -im just delaying as long as possible Timothy A.
