I cannot emerge gnome in a fresh build ~amd64 system. Basically, if I enable bindist use flag for openssl then emerge will ask me to disable it. However, if I disable bindist flag for openssl then it will ask me to enable it. How can I break this dependency loop? Thanks, Hung Below is the

Thanks everyone, I've nailed it \o/ A more detailed story follows. After taking the approach of offloading / and /usr checks to Dracut I've disabled fsck for those partitions in /etc/fstab so OpenRC fsck wouldn't attempt to check /usr (and fail) by setting passno (the last column to 0). It
