I had a similar issue with texinfo just yesterday, but not with glibc
- I was unable to emerge almost anything. In my case, I think texinfo
was a symptom, not the problem. Perhaps it is similar in your case?
I ran "perl-cleaner --all" once or twice, did an "emerge --deep -av
--newuse @world" which found one package to update, and then maybe
perl-cleaner again, and finally, "emerge --deep -avu @world" was able
to upgrade / reinstall texinfo. After that, I was able to emerge
new packages just fine.
So, point is - maybe try running something like perl-cleaner,
revdep-rebuild, or the such?
