The portage tree is not required to even be present. Nothing will stop |
| 20 |
working without it (other than portage itself - and "emerge --sync" will |
| 21 |
fix that). The OP made it sound like running "emerge --sync" had trashed |
| 22 |
his system by removing key system files. That is not the case. ;) |
