I like how it blames portage instead of the real problem. Yea, we run into a occasional bump in the road on this list but overall, emerge does one heck of a job sorting this mess out. If it can find a path to complete a upgrade, it gets there even if it has to spin the wheel a little longer. Poor Alan tho, he just keeps shooting himself in the foot. I'm saving my band-aids for someone who has at least learned to use a better method. Heck, if you or the smart Alan tells me I am doing a upgrade wrong, I listen. Thing is, even I know his script is a disaster without even running it. And I don't even try to claim to be a expert on scripts or that I can eve write one. lol I just know his creates a mess and every once in a while, he posts so that we know we are right. It does serve as a good source of giggles tho. ROFL Dale :-) :-)
