Can you be more specific on the syntax? It looks like this thread will prevent accidential deletion of gcc, in the future, but, I have not gleaned from the thread, nor from the emerge pages the correct (syntactically) version of how to use quickpkg to fix the problem. Do I first copy over the binary(ies) for gcc from another system? > Was your profile setting messed up? Maybe on an unmounted device? > AFAIK, the system set is defined by your profile.

It was installed back in 2004 so there may be cruft in the laptop, since it's been dual boot Gentoo XP for a long time. it's not the first time I've run depclean on it though.....
