Re: [gentoo-user] After upgrading to the latest Baselayout... (Oops - slip of the thumb)

Oops, my thumb slipped before i had finished my message, so
continuing, I had tried

        emerge --sync
        emerge --depclean
        revdep-rebuild
         glsa-check -f all

The system seemed then to catch up with all of the inconsistencies. 
Furthermore, the same has happened to me many times.  Almost every
serious problem I have had has been solved in somewhat the same way.  
I cling to these procedures like a blind man clings to a wall.

Sorry for the bodged message.

You are missing a step.

Yes.  I am using dispatch-conf.  Do you find it to be adequate?
