Ok... I see. But it seems there should be some indication of what is |
| 17 |

I don't understand how the `illegal state' happened.. Does the fact |

that I'd just run `emerge sync' have bearing on what happened or would |
| 22 |
any emerge command have provoked the uninstall of earlier versions of |
| 23 |
emacs-cvs? |
