Ran the 'regenworld' and 'revdep-rebuild' and it seems to be working. 6 packages were added to world as a result. |

It's currently still in the revdep-rebuild phase, and I think it should complete without problem; I'll continue on as suggested later this evening if it does. (Hopefully!) |

I'll post more if I run into other issues, but I think we likely solved it. If it's finished with revdep-rebuild when I get back home this evening, then it should be completely solved since before I couldn't get through such a build without something breaking. |

Yes, I did an emerge sync against my local portage mirror which is updated every day, used by my other systems. |

I did it very early in the install process too; though I forget at exactly what step. I also did it a couple times thereafter after hitting the issue to see if it would correct it, but no luck. |

you can also use equery check to check all files which should be |

installed. Did you do an emerge --sync to corrected any portage brackage? |
