I've had an ever-growing backlog of packages to update, all blocked
by xfce:
>term2 root # emerge --update world
>Calculating world dependencies ...done!

>!!! Error: the xfce-base/xfce4-base package conflicts with another package.
>!!! both can't be installed on the same system together.

Just now, out of (perverse) curiosity, I tried an emerge --depclean
and it did seem to remove some of the xfce extras which I understand
are causing this problem. I noticed right at the end there was an
error message about libacl.so.1, so decided to reboot to make sure
everything was OK.
But sadly no. Selected highlights from the boot messages (by hand):
*Calculating module dependencies
*Failed to calculate dependencies
and
*Caching service dependencies
ls: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: no such file or directory
* No scripts to process!
/var/lib/init.d/depcache: /var/lib/init.d/depcache: no such file or
directory
(then lots and lots of complaints about libacl.so.1)
then after the login prompt:
error calling: unlink in "GLOBAL"
error calling: unlink in "GLOBAL"
and no xdm so no graphical login.
I can log in as root but I can't even do an "ls".
Is there any way I can get libacl.so.1 back so I can proceed?
