I realize that I forgot to attach the list of packages emerge wants to |
| 46 |
reinstall. So I did the same emerge command (I always use --ask) and |
| 47 |
they are *gone*. This I don't understand since I didn't sync inbetween |
| 48 |
(ls -lt /usr/portage shows nothing since wednesday). |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I though all dependencies, etc are resolved locally so why would it |
| 51 |
change from 44 packages with 38 reinstalls to 4 packages with no |
| 52 |
reinstalls? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Could someone please set me straight? |
| 55 |
|

thanks, |
