I seem to recall the expat upgrade being similar for me too. Unless you receive good advice to the contrary, you could try doing what I eventually did: emerge -avuND world then emerge --skipfirst --resume as many times as needed to get to the end. Mask and unmask stuff manually as required. Eventually it all ends :-) and you are left with a consistent system. The final test is to run: emerge -avuND world emerge -av --depclean revdep-rebuild -p -i and all three should result in nothing to do. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
