thanks for your help. so i ran through this again, per your instructions, and once again, i got: >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * Regenerating GNU info directory index... * Processed 49 info files: 1 errors; run with emerge --verbose to view errors. * IMPORTANT: 1 config files in /etc need updating. * Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.
