I have the same problem with use="~x86" I even reported this as a bug. But I went ahead and continued on. -Gregg

I would not suggest downgrading any system packages. To be sure you should probably not downgrade any packages unless they are causing you trouble. I once tried going from ~x86 to x86 and it was harder than finding bugs in somebody else's undocumented source code written in a language that I don't know. If you choose to go back to ~x86, I would suggest "migrating" slowly by using the -D option to emerge whenever you do an actual upgrade. Doing it that way, most packages will be back to x86 after about a month and you wont get any (or very little) breakage. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
