That revealed a lot of interesting stuff, and I will have to go through it |

I eventually let revdep-rebuild build the packages in random order until it |
| 19 |
hit one it couldn't. It turned out an old faac version was the culprit. After |

unmerging and re-emerging faac, revdep-rebuild was able to clean up my |
| 21 |
system. |

So portage is happy again, my system is and I am. Not a too bad start for a |
| 24 |
new year. ;-) |
