You have done emerge depclean or other such thing. linc is a deprecated package that has been folded into ORBit2 , but should have remained on your system in order to prevent breakage like this (therefore its not conflicted but silently left alone) Fixing this can either be done by reinstalling "linc" and letting the problems subside, or running revdep-rebuild (linker checker and rebuilder) or by checking what application links to liblinc, and rebuilding that against current system, then it won't link to linc anymore. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
