My fear is that something may break and I not realize; or it may break something 2 months from now, when I wouldn't associate the breakage with my messing with /etc/env.d. I am afraid of breaking the system after doing enough times already. > When is the last time you > did an etc-update? What running env-update? I use dispatch-conf every time Portage warns me to update configuration files. Just to make you happy, I have just run etc-update followed by env-update. Nothing changed. Speaking of env-update, see my /etc/ld.so.conf, and how it is screwed up: $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory /usr/local/lib //usr//lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.2 /usr/lib/nspr /usr/lib/nss /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/lib/i386/ /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/lib/i386/native_threads/ /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/lib/i386/xawt/ /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/lib/i386/server/ /opt/firefox /usr/games/lib There is no /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linu/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.2 and no /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06. These are erroneous entries. Has this happened with other people? Does Portage leave stray files behind in /etc/env.d? -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free. --Linus Torvalds
