[gentoo-user] fix for e2fsprogs BLOCK?
This probably was already discussed at length... But I keep waiting for an automatic portage tree fix to this... Any idea if there will be a fix, or will I need to take care of this manually? (Intel Core Duo 32-bit system, FYI).

On the PC I am writing this, portage 2.2 had no trouble with this update. But on another, which was upgraded to portage 2.2 just before the world update, I got the blockers and had to solve this manually. No idea why. Wonko

Re: [gentoo-user] fix for e2fsprogs BLOCK?
I did this emerge -f e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs emerge -C com_err ss but it still complained about blocks when I tried emerge e2fsprogs So I had to do emerge -C e2fsprogs emerge e2fsprogs This seems to work fine - no more blocks. Thank you, Denis
