10 Hi Stroller,
11 Thanks, (and apologies for the delay).
12 World file was empty at the time of the previous post - I was still working
13 on fixing @system.
14 As mentioned, I was careless with copying over /var from a previous
15 install. The problem wasn't with the world file, but with the db/pkg lists.
16 emerge -e did not immediately fix it. However, with patience and a few
17 continuous fixes, I now have @system back - and am currently waiting for my
18 previous world packages to finish. Hopefully by tomorrow morning, I should
19 be able to complete a depclean without issue...

26 I wish! Sorry - until I have a 'proper' system working again, I am stuck
27 with webmail... :(

29 Thanks again for everyone's help.
