In other words, it should all just work for you. Equally obviously, it doesn't. In your shoes what I would be doing now is backup your entire mysql install (everything listed in "equery files mysql"), delete the package (emerge -C) and remerge mysql. Then check if starting and stopping works correctly. I suspect you'll find it will. Now you just need to diff these new files with your backups and find differences. Yes, this is sort of the long way round but you're not having much luck asking "anyone seen this before?", so now it's time to bring out the big guns -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
