21 Never do that, unless you want everyone on your system to be allowed to
22 gain root. As in, that is same as intentionally inserting a
23 vulnerability to your own machine.

25 The solution is to recompile pkgs like dev-libs/dbus-glib after
26 dev-libs/glib upgrade (as noted by elog in the end of glib emerge)
27 Propably 'emerge -e sys-apps/dbus dev-libs/dbus-glib' will do the trick
28 if nothing else does
29
30 Only, this emerge likes to re-emerge several hundreds of packages.

32 Any comments?
