The other day I was updating a fairly ancient system by trying to first clear out some emerge blockers. I've taken care of the blockers, but now I find that my system no longer has a more command:

# more
bash: more: command not found

I also notice that sys-apps/more is masked:

*  sys-apps/more [ Masked ]

Surely this isn't what I'm supposed to install just to get "more." Please advise.


You didn't happen to unmerge coreutils did you because it was blocking? If so that is the cause of your problems. I'm not sure how to recovery from a lack of coreutils since most of your system binaries are now gone.
