Unfortunately, I couldn't apply it retrospectively :( Once I realised why everything was breaking, it was easy enough to restore the symlink. Even so, untarring a .tbz package is a brute force approach and should be followed by emerging it properly, otherwise portage can be out of sync with what is actually on the disk. -- Neil Bothwick User-friendly: (adj.) trivialized, slow, incapable, and boring.
