So, I was upgrading several machines, and as a habit I always run perl-cleaner. Every machine gave me an output like so with somewhat different package lists: * * It seems like perl-cleaner had to rebuild some packages. * * If you have just updated your major Perl version (e.g. from 5.20.2 to

Are there any smokeping users? I did an update to apache, mod_perl, and smokeping, having to unmask things so they build correctly... and now all graphs are broken links. I had to keyword mod_perl and smokeping to get everything to build properly. Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix

For some reason, on one box, whenever I start vim it puts "://" on the command line. I've looked in vimrc and can't see any reference to this. Hitting Enter yields "E486: Pattern not found :" I've noticed that it's been behaving strangely but I cannot figure out the cause. Last

[gentoo-user] Plasma upgrade: Part Deux.

So, I have a week off and have time to mess around trying to upgrade to Plasma once again. I have got it mostly-somewhat upgraded, but I have two bizarre problems. The first one is I have two volume controls in the tray. I have no idea why, and both seem to present slightly different controls.

[gentoo-user] python-updater: depclean removes it?

Did something change recently? I was doing some updates and noticed app-admin/python-updater was removed. It's still in the tree but the system decided it was no longer needed - was it removed from @system? After an update I typically run perl-cleaner, python-updater, and revdep-rebuild to catch
