16 It fails now, as does 3.12.21-r1. Fortunately, I always keep 2
17 kernels around. The production kernel is call "Production" and new builds
18 always go as "Experimental". I use lilo to select the version to boot.
19 Only after booting and running successfully for a couple of weeks do I
20 run my "promote" script which copies the Experimental kernel and map and
21 .config backup files over top of their Production equivalants. So my
22 Production kernel is not screwed up.

27 I tried both "perl-cleaner --all" and "perl-cleaner --reallyall", but
28 I still have the problem. Is there a way to manually run depmod?

33 Stable x86_64. glibc, perl, and python were on the list. This is a
34 notebook that hadn't been updated for a month or so.
35 cd to /var/log/portage and ran command
36
37 ll -og | grep Aug\ 13 | sed "s/^.*Aug 13 //"
38
39 to get a list of what ran that day...
