revdep-rebuild is your friend!!!! I can remember kicking off the
original emerge that caused my problem and thinking "I also need to
remember to run revdep-rebuild when done" and then promptly forgot to do
so. Thanks to walt's prompt, I've run it and things are now good.
Also thanks to the others for kicking in with suggestions,
Andrew
