Francisco, Yes, this happen to me as well. It happened right after I did a fair number of updates that were revealed through emerge -vu --deep world. It appears that one of the packages, which I believe was libpng-1.4, did not have a properly designed ebuild script and it subsequently deleted a number of installed portage packages, including xf86-input-evdev. I don't know all the details, but I definately say some notes on this in the forums section. Art
