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? -- Chris Spackman GNU Terry Pratchett
