[gentoo-user] serious breakage after 'emerge depclean' -- libacl.so.1

[Ed Budd]

Okay, I seem to have inadvertently messed up my main workstation while 
running 'emerge depclean' (yeah, I know...kicking myself repeatedly for 
not scrutinizing the list more thoroughly though I didn't think there 
was anything there that was so critical).

Anyway, the primary symptom seems to be the loss of libacl.so.1. I can't 
do any critical commands without seeing this:

"ls: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory"

Trying to use cp, even shutdown gives me the same thing. Of course I 
can't emerge anything either.

I've tried booting from the 2004.3 Universal CD and sure enough there is 
no shared library by that name in /lib. My laptop (which I'm writing 
this message on btw) is set up similarly and has the file.

I'll happily name my next child after anyone who can help me out of this.
TIA for ANY assistance,
EB
