I think you're being a little harsh. :-) Usually, unmerging a package |
| 6 |
that is blocking another package has, in my limited experience, always |
| 7 |
solved the problem. I probably would have fallen victim to this had I |
| 8 |
not been reading the problems that others have had. |

No matter, my intention is not to start a war and this is too late for |
| 11 |
the people that have already caused themselves grief by removing |
| 12 |
coreutils. However, once I read the problems that others have |
| 13 |
encountered when they did this, I searched the forums. A post from |
| 14 |
earlier this year saved my butt! This is the command that was suggested |
| 15 |
and worked fine for me: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
emerge -C mktemp && emerge -uavDNt world |
| 18 |

Hopefully, it will help others who have not yet become Gentoo gurus. |
