I had a similar problem during a recent installation when I converted from udev to eudev. "emerge --update --newuse --deep world" spewed out those error messages. However, "emerge world" (no options) ran OK. Then I was able to unmerge udev and emerge eudev, the command... "emerge --update --newuse --deep world" ran OK after that. Reminds me of the joke about insanity... doing the same thing and expecting a different result. In this case, I assume that "emerge world" resolved some issues, and got the system back into a sane state. To repeat... Step 1) "emerge world" Step 2) "emerge --update --newuse --deep world" -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
