Of course I did that. emerge --depclean showed me (along many other

keep. And most of the things were kept, like man pages, but some
essential files were not.
Looking at emerge.log, I see that I had the old 1.7.8-r1 in parallel for
quite a while. For about three weeks, I had masked 1.12.10-r5, because I
wanted to stay with 1.12.9-r2 until I had physical access to the system.
I removed the mask, upgraded world, and did the depclean then.
It might be worth trying revdep-rebuild and seeing if it brings any of
the missing stuff back... (assuming you are able to boot the machine
somehow - install cd + chroot etc).
