Yeah, my wife's 32-bit machine is still blocked. My son's 32-bit |
61 |
machine which hasn't been updated yet is still fine as is my 64-bit |
62 |
machine. |
63 |
|
64 |
Logically so far I do think it's a Gentoo problem. If it was specific |
65 |
to some Yahoo server that my house is pointed at it would have been at |
66 |
least consistent on my wife's & son's machines, or so I think. |
67 |
|
68 |
Strange problem. |
69 |
|
70 |
Maybe it's a USE flags issue of some type. I'll do a comparison. |
71 |
|
72 |
Note that today my wife is reporting a few new problems with the Gnome |
73 |
update itself so maybe there is some larger issue. I've done a |
74 |
revdep-rebuild on her machine. I've not finished all of the emerge |
75 |
-DuN world updates yet but it's probably 95% done. |
76 |

Thanks, |
