I had a similar problem during a recent installation when I converted |
| 10 |
from udev to eudev. "emerge --update --newuse --deep world" spewed out |
| 11 |
those error messages. However, "emerge world" (no options) ran OK. |
| 12 |
Then I was able to unmerge udev and emerge eudev, the command... |
| 13 |
"emerge --update --newuse --deep world" ran OK after that. Reminds me |
| 14 |
of the joke about insanity... doing the same thing and expecting a |
| 15 |
different result. In this case, I assume that "emerge world" resolved |
| 16 |
some issues, and got the system back into a sane state. |

To repeat... |
| 19 |
Step 1) "emerge world" |
| 20 |
Step 2) "emerge --update --newuse --deep world" |
