I found out a computer of mine has been working with a bad memory |
| 2 |
configuration which could lead to wrong values (sometimes failing on |
| 3 |
memtest). Not only did it freeze during a world update, but it was also |
| 4 |
running this way for a long time. |

So I guess some binaries might have errors on it, due to memory |
| 7 |
corruption during compilation and linking. (Although the errors seems to |
| 8 |
freeze the system immediately, preventing any kind of long term effects |
| 9 |
(like installing a broken version) I suppose it's better not to trust |
| 10 |
that...) |

What's the best way to make sure the system is recovered? Reemerging |
| 13 |
everything (-e) might fail if some essential package is already broken, |
| 14 |
right? |
