Whats going on...?

No has slipped something deadly into portage or otherwise caused
upgrade world calamity.

After about 1 mnth, I just did -uD world and had no problems during or
after the update. And revdep-rebuild also came up clean.

Something is wrong here.... maybe I'm learning a little bit about how
to run gentoo..... nahh... must be something else.

Could it just be that you got caught up in a Windows flashback?

Funny, same thing here, for a long time now.  It does seem that after a
while updates go real smooth.  Maybe a config update now and again but
other than that, it just works.  O_O

Here's to this happening some more, for more people too.

Don't worry, a few more months and you'll be zipping through 
etc-update and accidentally overwriting your CUPS configuration.

Well, at least it doesn't try to restore fstab back to default anymore. 
;-)  Yea, give it time, we all learn how to really screw up something
after a while.  Cups is a good one to start off with.  At least it isn't
a system crasher or prevent it from booting.

There is a very good reason why I keep backups of files such as xorg.conf.... ;)
