I usually do emerge sync daily, and do a emerge -u --deep system -p and also world to see what it wants to do. If I approve I'll emerge it. Doing it frequently keeps the amount of changes down. etc-updates are how Gentoo updates config files but gives you a warning (unlike other distros).

I'm getting the same message and have been for a while. I built this machine a month ago but have been hesitant to do that step. On a machine I built last week, I believe I did the portage emerge. I Actually sent the same question to this list. Check the archives for people's answers.

Following on from Chris's question, right now if I do an emerge -Dp world I get a pretty radical looking list of things that are going to happen: Wizard usr # emerge -Dp world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuildU ]

It didn't say much. I believe that I did: emerge -p portage emerge portage emerge sync and then went on, but this is just memory. I was at the same point as you are right now I think... Do you think you did an emerge sync first? I tried emerge -p portage as the first step after chroot
