like, some part of Gentoo prefers dev-libs/openssl:0 and the other one wants dev-libs/openssl:0=.... Is it only me reaching for world peace and a running system only...finally? Question again: What does all this mean, what triggers that, and why happens this while simply installing the apps I had on my old system? User:"I did not change anything....!!!" Software Techie:"When I was testing this, it was working....!!!" Helpdesk:"Did you plugin into mains before your monitor fails?" Hopefully this problem is not as hard as it failure report is long...
