Yeah, my wife's 32-bit machine is still blocked. My son's 32-bit machine which hasn't been updated yet is still fine as is my 64-bit machine. Logically so far I do think it's a Gentoo problem. If it was specific to some Yahoo server that my house is pointed at it would have been at least consistent on my wife's & son's machines, or so I think. Strange problem. Maybe it's a USE flags issue of some type. I'll do a comparison. Note that today my wife is reporting a few new problems with the Gnome update itself so maybe there is some larger issue. I've done a revdep-rebuild on her machine. I've not finished all of the emerge -DuN world updates yet but it's probably 95% done. Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
