You need to grab xorg-2.eclass from the git history and put it in your
overlay. Be prepared to repeat this process with other files.

Well, I already have such a system, but developments since last
year somehow just claims I have to have a lot of (for me) useless
processes.

I have tried the overlay route, but since some time I get:

 * ERROR: x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.4::aspo failed (depend phase):
 *   xorg-2.eclass could not be found by inherit()
 * 
 * Call stack:

I don't think libinput maintainers would care.
 https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/what-is-libinput.html
plainly says:

 libinput is an input stack for processes that need to provide events
 from commonly used input devices. 

and serial mice isn't common any longer, and udev has never (from what I
know) cared about serial mice.

You need to make sure the headless use-flag is disabled and the qt5
useflag is enabled if you want the GUI.

Kind regards, tastytea


Thanks, qt5 was disabled. It works now.

You need to be a bit more specific about what you want to do. The
"VirtualBox" command launches the VirtualBox manager.  Are you saying
it didn't get installed for you?  I'm not aware of any other UI for
it.  I don't know if you just made a typo - but the command is not
VurtualBox, it's VirtualBox.

Jack


Yes, the VirtualBox command is missing. "VurtualBox" was typo.

Thanks

Right, my bad.  I meant to write what Neil suggested - copy over binaries to 
get whatever parts of your toolchain are broken working again - but didn't 
obviously didn't write so.  :-)

I can't recall coming come across this problem myself, probably because I tend 
to leave emerge updates to finish, or resume from where I had stopped an 
update.  Is this a an error portage should be able to deal with itself when an 
update is interrupted, then restarted?
