16 Portage, just portage, only portage....

18 Ok, I sledgehammered the new portage into the system...

20 Here are some highlights from a many hundred killobyte "emerge system"
21 log...

38 You only want me to suffer, don't you?
39
40 How in god's name do I resolve this without bricking my system???
41
42 I mean basically no package on my system has an override that says "just
43 use printf, damnit", they all make ncurses calls.... All of them! If I
44 breathe on ncurses, portage instantly stops working (even BASH stops
45 working!!) and I'm screwed...
