5 After unmerging the newest version of portage, reinstalling the version that
6 came on the cd, and then remerging the latest version it appears to be
7 working again. I had to create my own virtual/glibc entry in the db for
8 some reason but things seem to work now.

10 BTW, is pkgmerge for .tbz2 packages only or can it deal with .ebuild files?
11 If its for .tbz2 messages only perhaps it should generate a proper error
12 message informing the user instead of spitting out the python error:
13
14 root@gentoo zlib > pkgmerge zlib-1.1.3-r2.ebuild
15 Traceback (most recent call last):
16 File "/usr/sbin/pkgmerge", line 68, in ?
17 mykey=mytbz2.getelements("CATEGORY")[0]+"/"+mypkg[:-5]
18 IndexError: list index out of range
19
20 If pkgmerge is in fact for .tbz2 files only, is there anyway to get ebuild
21 to autobuild dependencies yet? Its rather tedious without it due to all the
22 dependies for things such as gnome...

34 Actually after reading the dhcpcd manpage it would seem rather simple to do
35 DHCP on an interface... if I have any luck I'll send the mailing list my
36 modified .eth0 file for use as an example or whatever :)

38 Thanks for your time...
