Re: [gentoo-user] Help...can't decipher emerge oracle...

[Jan Chren (rindeal)]

Well, that's yet another problem, this time it's `autofs` package
which depends on glibc having `rpc` USE flag. glibc 2.26 lost this
USE-flag, however. Hopefully you can workaround this by enabling
`libtirpc` USE-flag for `autofs` package.

So the steps should be now:

1. put `net-fs/autofs libtirpc` into your `/etc/portage/package.use/...`
2. `emerge -1 autofs`
3. `emerge -1 ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.26"`
4. `emerge -1 libnsl`
