23 Hi Allan,
24 I admit to being a bit confused at this point. You ran the
25 lafilefixer suggestion and said it fixed things. Did that step
26 actually fix your libssl problem?
27
28 I guess you also ran fsck as it's a good thing to do once in awhile
29 anyway. That's cool.

31 It seems, however, that you're still going down the path of emerge
32 -e @world. Why is that? If it's just to be confident that everything
33 is back to the way it should be then I understand that. I've done it
34 myself many times in the last 12 years.
35
36 Just trying to get a handle on what the actual solution is vs all
37 the other things going on in the thread! :-)

39 Thanks,
40 Mark
