[gentoo-user] Problems emerging world on new machine

  I'm trying to update world on a new install.  I can emerge the
occasional app like syslog-ng or whatever following the Gentoo install
manual.  But when I try to update world, all hell breaks loose.
Appended output from...

emerge -p --changed-use -deep --update @world > /dev/shm/log.txt 2>&1

  I've bzipped the output for attachment... yes it's *THAT* bad.

You seem to be missing a dash on --deep, which has the unfortunate
consequence of being parsed as -d -e -e -p instead.  -d enables debug
mode (hence the ludicrously long output), and -e is short for
--emptytree which is almost certainly not what you wanted to do here.

Try --deep instead.

  Thank you very much, that was it.  I feel stupid.  Now it's only
re-emerging 13 ebuilds after I added "-ipv6" to USE.

Don't, I'm sure we've all done it, I know I have. That, and laziness, is
the reason I now use only short options when running emerge directly.
