To be honest, it does more good than bad. |

Problem though, is that in some rare cases, |
| 18 |
especially when you have a old installation |
| 19 |
of Gentoo, it seems to unmerge the new |
| 20 |
SLOT'ed version, and not the old unsloted |
| 21 |
version. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I had this once, so remerged few things, fixed |
| 24 |
others with binary packages, and then checked |
| 25 |
the clean bit for the next while on this box, and it |
| 26 |
never happned again after all the packages have |
| 27 |
been SLOT'ed ... |
