Personally, I'd think it would depend on the utility of the fix script |
| 11 |
for this particular problem - theoretically, if it did anything to help, |
| 12 |
it'd be recreating the files. The delete could potentially have been |
| 13 |
needed to make it recognize that there was a problem along that |
| 14 |
particular line. Admittedly, after experiencing such a problem, I'd |
| 15 |
rather move the directory to a backup, try the fix script. If that |
| 16 |
worked, compare the recreated directory to the old one; else move the |
| 17 |
old one back and emerge -e world, cross all crossable appendages. |
