Always ask before you are doing things which could be stupid!!!
I think you're being a little harsh. :-) Usually, unmerging a package
that is blocking another package has, in my limited experience, always
solved the problem. I probably would have fallen victim to this had I
not been reading the problems that others have had.
No matter, my intention is not to start a war and this is too late for
the people that have already caused themselves grief by removing
coreutils. However, once I read the problems that others have
encountered when they did this, I searched the forums. A post from
earlier this year saved my butt! This is the command that was suggested
and worked fine for me:
emerge -C mktemp && emerge -uavDNt world
Hopefully, it will help others who have not yet become Gentoo gurus.
Regards,
Colleen.
