why are you using emerge -e??????



because I don't understand it yet?

Anyway... I think I know what happened... I didn't realise that portage put it's database in /var... And after I got my base installed, I re-mounted my old /var from my debian install... So user error... Whoops..

I still have my old /var luckily. I'm going to try putting that back & see what happens... Maybe I can recover it... Thena gain maybe it'll be a good lesson & I'll have to re-build from scratch tonight.

Thanks for all your help people...
