try reading /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/README.RESCUE. Perhaps it would make sense for emerge to have a statically linked wrapper which runs the real emerge, or outputs a message about this file if that fails. > Any idea what when wrong? It's possible that what happened to you is similar to what just happened to me on two different systems. My portage counter (/var/cache/edb/counter) got reset or something, which made Portage think that newly emerged packages were older than existing ones. When AUTOCLEAN kicked in, Portage started deleting things like /lib/ld-linux.so.2 and /lib/ld-2.3.1.so. Not cool. You can test whether this is happening (once you've rescued Portage) by doing 'emerge -p clean' and seeing if Portage is planning to remove older versions instead of newer of any packages. If it is, you can fix it by altering the relevant COUNTER files under /var/db/pkg manually, or write a semi-quick shell one-liner to do it automatically. In the meantime, I'd recommend disabling AUTOCLEAN in make.conf until you get things straightened out (although be sure to turn it back on and do 'emerge clean' once you do). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
