I try "emerge -avuDN @system" for now ... this includes glibc etc and should result in a quite bootable system. The openssl-upgrade lead to some @preserved-rebuild issues ... but I have to clean up @world first. This box was based on another installation back then and has the whole LAMP stack installed which isn't used at all. If I get rid of this the whole setup and upgrade gets much much simplified. Maybe I can talk my colleague into an earlier reboot-test ... if that works we are running on a current kernel/udev/openrc ... that would be great to know. glibc-2.19-r1 emerged as well now. - But you are still right: If I had backed up /etc and copied some of my images in there I would also be up and running already. Next time! ;-) S
