emerging the one or the other with --nodeps could solve this.

Afaik it's not possible to "upgrade" a running 32bit sy= stem to a 64bit one.

Hth,

Thanks!!


Well, --nodeps did no work, as portage claims tha= t it is incompatible with --emptytree , that it is forcing as there is no m= ore /var/db

I have also tried to include my gcc in /etc/package-pro= vided , but still it did not work

Thanks
