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.

Scanning Configuration files...

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 same thing happens with cfg-update:

The thing is, I cannot find the relevant files in the first place (which
may itself be the problem):

I don't see 30 relevant files to be updated, so I don't even know what
the update utilities are complaining about, or why they think there *is*
something to complain about.
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?
