Vanished, without trace, just like your kernel tree. Are we seeing a pattern emerging? Were you possibly installing an ~arch system? And using ext4 or btrfs on the partitions? And emerged coreutils-8.10 as well? See the message Mr Jarausch posted yesterday. He referred to this bug as well: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353907 -- Arttu V.

Sean, Two questions. I don't think you ever replied as to whether /usr/src is a mounted partition, is it? Also, did you have multiple kernels emerged into different slots before this happened? if so, does portage still think they're installed? It was not a mounted partition. No multiple kernels. I try to clean up after myself.
