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

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

[Walter Dnes]

  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...

incredible saga of thud and blunder.

  Sorry about the panic post.  I got flustered and posted right away,
when I should've checked for similar threads.  Problem solved as per
the suggestions in the other threads.  Reminder to self... *NEVER*,
*EVER* unmerge coreutils.
