What gets me, that MERGING is in all caps. I don't recall ever seeing a |
| 79 |
package name with caps like that. To me, it looks like something was |
| 80 |
being installed/upgraded and during the process some cruft got left |
| 81 |
behind by portage. Now I don't know that to be true but I'm grasping at |
| 82 |
straws here. I think I built this rig about 2011 or 2012. I could dig |
| 83 |
out the invoices to be sure. Anyway, mines not as old a install as |
| 84 |
yours but it has been around for a while. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
That has been there for a while and everything is working fine, even |
| 87 |
rebooting. Thing is, it bugs me that it is there and I don't know what |
| 88 |
exactly it is or where it came from. Also, that I can't figure out how |
| 89 |
to clean it up either. o_O I mostly want to clean it up. |

Maybe someone else has ran into this and has a clue, or a 2 x 4. ;-) |
