Why are you using Wayland ? -- it's still largely experimental, isn't it ? |

That's a common experience for most of us (smile) ! |

First advice : most of the "errors" are really advisories. |

I've been using it since 2003 & have never had a problem this size. |
| 28 |
However in all that time, I've never done 'emerge world' without '-p' ; |
| 29 |
I update pkgs individually, typically with '-1'. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Try 'emerge -Dvp world' & send the output to a file, |
| 32 |
then work thro' the list a few pkgs at a time ; |
| 33 |
if you run into a block, skip that pkg & see how far you can get ; repeat. |
| 34 |
The result wb to isolate what's going wrong, |
| 35 |
when you can test solutions, which are usually 1 level deep. |
