Hey ho, all-- (I think that) Ever since I downgraded Xorg from 6.8.99 back to 6.8.2-r6 a couple of days ago, I've had reports from both etc-update and cfg-update that there are 30 files needing to be updated (etc-update reports them as being in /usr/lib/X11/xkb sometimes, but not always).
The problem is, these files do not exist, or rather are not found when I then run the relevant utility: * Regenerating GNU info directory index... * Processed 326 info files. * IMPORTANT: 3 config files in /etc need updating. * IMPORTANT: 30 config files in /usr/lib/X11/xkb need updating. * Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files. za 01/07/06 13:58 za 01/07/06 14:07 motub -> etc-update Scanning Configuration files... Automerging trivial changes in: filesystems Automerging trivial changes in: net.example The following is the list of files which need updating, each configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files. 1) /etc/conf.d/rc /etc/conf.d/._cfg0000_rc Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number. (don't use -3 or -5 if you're unsure what to do) (-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all remaining files) (-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i'): As you see, only three files (the files adjusted by the emerge -uaDtv world which this report completed) appear.

The folder is listed in CONFIG_PROTECT (which I think is by default, it seems unlikely that I would have added it by hand). I should probably check b.g.o or the forums, but I have no idea what to search for and I really don't have the energy atm to filter down a huge list of hits from an untargeted search. Can anybody help me either fix this or fine-tune my quest for the misconfiguration that is causing this? T(hanks)I(n)A(dvance), Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
