You really need to tell us more about your system. What did you do preceding this? > It appears that I have no previous version of coreutils showing on my > system... What is that statement based on? How did you check it? What's the output of `emerge -pv coreutils`? If you have either gentoolkit or portageutils installed (or am able to install it) please show the output of either `equery check coreutils` or `qcheck coreutils`. `emerge --info` would be nice too.. > Anyone know of a way to fix this? An easy solution might be to emerge busybox if possible.. Otherwise we really need to know more.. -- Bo Andresen
