It's possible that one of the updates you did needs the config file to be updated or things won't work.

Help!
I'm struggling with this one, trying to understand WHY it broke:
OK, so I did several updates, and this resulted in several files in /etc/ that needed to be verified/updated (._cfg0000_XXXX files). So, I took a look and decided I wanted to keep my old files rather than merge the new ones ... and I deleted the ._cfg0000_* files. Now my machine won't boot. It complains that there are missing links to several files in /etc (which all coincidentally were files that had a corresponding ._cfg0000_XXXXX file that I deleted).
What was stupid about what I did? How might I recover/regenerate that which is missing to avoid doing a complete reinstall? I suppose I could boot from the cd & chroot into my install and re-emerge those packages, if it came down to it. Is that what is necessary?
Thanks in advance,
Brandon Young
