On an x86 machine with kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r4, I did "eix-sync" and
"emerge -NauvD system" and received a response including the following line:
[blocks B ] >=sys-fs/udev-126 (">=sys-fs/udev-126" is blocking
sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.5-r1)
Doing "emerge -p -C udev" elicited the following lines:
!!! 'sys-fs/udev' is part of your system profile.
!!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system.
Looking for a safer fix for the blockage, I did "emerge -C cryptsetup".
Repeating "emerge -NauvD system", produced output including the following:

I did "dispatch-conf" followed by "emerge cryptsetup". That produced

After doing "emerge --resume --skipfirst" a few more times I got a
seemingly clean ending:
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
At that point I had the impression that the machine was not up-to-date
but nonetheless functional. However, the next morning I noticed that
the computer would not print to my local printer. Using the CUPS menu
did not rectify the problem. When I rebooted, the machine wouldn't
start X and the mouse wouldn't work. Rebooting again, I used the Grub
menu to select an old reliable configuration which allowed me to login
at a command line interface but did allow me to start X.
I would be grateful for suggestions about how to diagnose and fix the
above noted problems with cryptsetup, printer, mouse, and X.
