32 It's com_err you need to make wget work again. Using 'emerge -fpv
33 com_err' should get you a list of URL(s) for the file(s) needed, then
34 you can use a web browser to download them and put them in your
35 distfiles/ directory. (Or if you've got them on the other machine,
36 just copy them from there.)
37
38 After you have com_err installed, use 'emerge -fuDN' to to get
39 everything you need to upgrade before you unmerge the blockers again.
