Then try all your emerges with --tree you get a lot more helpfull output.
Also, when a dependency is missing revdep-rebuilt loves to fail. You can hunt
that down with --tree or just re--emerging the stuff.
Thanks very much, it looks as if "eselect gcc" was where I needed to
start. I've had to re-build gcc and then revdep-rebuild worked, and I'm
working through "emerge -uDNav world" - which seems to be running more
smoothly.
I was surprised that I managed to get into such a mess so easily... but
I seem to be back on track now.
Thanks.
