Unfortunately, the backup version is 4 weeks old. But my /usr partition is up-to-date and I have binary build-pkgs. What's the fastest way to restore the portage-relevant data on the root partition? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
