[gentoo-user] Unmerged coreutils + mktemp; can't emerge anymore

["Walter Dnes" <waltdnes@waltdnes.org>]

  I assume I'll have to download some gentoo system binaries.  Can
someone point me to what I need?

  Here's what happened.  I did a regular "emerge --sync" and then tried
an update.  There seemed to be a circular blockage involving both
coreutils and mktemp.  As I've done in similar situations in the past, I
removed the blocking packages and re-tried emerge.  Apparently, I
unmerged something vital.  Emerge dies like so...
