Not sure how far behind he was w/ the baselayout. It may have been
removed from portage, and him masking it blocked. although he says he
had recently installed it. but yes, it sounds as though something else
went wrong.

Plenty of warning there. Not recommended to --depclean. UNLESS
absolutely necessary.

Isn't baselayout part of system? Wouldn't --depclean leave that
installed? Something sounds . . . fishy. I run --depclean and I
don't
recall it ever removing something in system.
That said, always add a -p or -a to that thing. It can boo boo and
remove something you need if you are not careful. I removed a kde
thing
once. No GUI for a bit.
