28 Here's the funny part. I figured out that that file is in the package
29 newt, who would have thunk that. LOL Anyway, I emerge -1 it then when
30 I tell it to start emerging mondorescue again, it skips the package
31 mindi completely.
32
33 Since I have no clue what this may break, I went back and emerge -1
34 mindi just in case. It worked this time, since newt was there. May be
35 a bug too. Now back to mondorescue.
36
37 Anyway, here I go again.
