I did those things as matter of course. It think its a directory at /var/db/pkg/sus-libs/ that is empty that is causing the grief. It also appears to have a funky name from some kind of error somewhere. /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-pam-0.99.8.1-r1 If I knew anything about python I might try fixing it since a well written script ought not to cave on an empty directory. But since I don't I just moved the directory. :) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
