That is very bad advice. Sounds like something a Windows user would say, and |
| 21 |
the OP did NOT say that his machine has not been updated for a year. He said |
| 22 |
it's a year old. |

haoniukun, there's no reason to reinstall the system. I've man times updated |
| 25 |
gentoo machines after 18 months or so. All hell does not break loose, but you |
| 26 |
do have to look at the output and think about what you are doing. Your |
| 27 |
problem sounds like the python/python-updater/bash conflict from a while ago. |
| 28 |
It's trivially easy to get around. But for me to assist you I'm going to need |
| 29 |
the emerge output. With gentoo, always put the output you get in the support |
| 30 |
mail - because you are going to be asked for it anyway. |
