24 If no one else has any ideas, I would start a emerge -e world. Maybe
25 something updated and a dependency needs to be recompiled but no one
26 else knows which one it is. I have in the past done this and it work.
27 I usually start a screen session so that I can check on it either in a
28 console or in KDE. You can also test it to see if it works from time to
29 time too. Just run etc-update or something to check for config updates
30 before testing

32 Maybe someone else will come up with something that will help. No clue
33 here, at the moment anyway.
