Portage has just unmerged my openrc-0.34.11. I didn't ask it to. I'm not very happy about this. I did # emerge -auND @world , and after dealing with five packages, it just warned me that openrc was a critical system package, then went ahead and unmerged it. I presume that if I'd tried to reboot, I would have failed. I've manually emerged openrc again (version 0.42.1), and it looks like it will work, but I haven't tried it yet. What's up with Gentoo at the moment? Uninstalling system critical packages automatically is a big deal, and shouldn't happen. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
