Hi,

After you guys get finished ROTFL, I hope someone can help me out.

I did a real "bonehead" thing.  I *hate* slotted packages.  What can I say,
I'm a "neat freak".  Normally, with the exception of genkernel, if a package
is going to install into a new slot, I remove the original and install
fresh.  That's what I did tonight after syncing, but it was stupid.

After syncing, I was told that there was a new version of gcc and that it
would be installed into a new slot.  Yes, I know that gcc is a compiler and
that, without a compiler, things just don't want to compile.  However, I
removed it anyway and even ignored the error message that it was part of my
profile and could damage my system.

So, what's done is done.  Is there a way to fix things without having to
reinstall my whole system?

Thanks in advance for your help and I hope I've given you the best laugh
you've had for a while!  :-)

Colleen
