Well, I only did it to see what would happen. |

I also tried moving /var/db/pkg to somewhere else and did emerge -uavD |

world, which had the same affect as doing emerge -ae world normally. |

So, my original advice was wrong it seems (well, more out of date than |
| 20 |
wrong, since I tried to do what the OP wanted to do a while ago, and |
| 21 |
portage complained about things not being installed). That said, it |
| 22 |
would still be one way of doing it, just not the simplest way. |
