Interesting info. Thanks. While I reported that the revdep-rebuild command solved my problem which was Gnome not emerging, I cannot at this time say that any applications actually work. I've finished emerging Gnome but there are another 20 or so packages that a second revdep-rebuild wanted to emerge again. I get quite tired, and frankly do not understand, why gcc itself should be on this list so often, but it's there and it takes a lot of time to rebuild so there I am.... I'll report back later as to the functionality of the system. It's still running mythbackend as this process goes on. At least it's helping my network do good things....
