Well, what I did was basically: emerge -a --changed-deps=y @world emerge -j 8 -a --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=100 @world [fix USE flag] emerge -j 8 -a --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=100 @world [remove nvidia-settings] emerge -j 8 -a --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=100 @world emerge @preserved-rebuild That took about 2 hours to update 233 packages. Then I made the new kernel and found that for unknown reasons, without warning, the zfs startup scripts were disabled (very bad idea ...). Today I updated the LXC guest and went over the kernel settings and managed to get my trackball not to work anymore, then took quite a while to figure out what was missing (it needs a HID driver which, for unknown reasons, got disabled ...). So after two days, I finally got seamonkey 2.35 (and a cleaned-up kernel) ... and I wonder why libreoffice hasn't been updated. Not that it matters, but why not? -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
