Thanks again, Alan, |

I've been working with Gentoo for nearly 6 years now and try to resolve all my |
9 |
issues without asking for help. I still consider myself a newbie. I feel I |
10 |
learn more by researching the issue. In fact, I think I only posted to the |
11 |
lists one time 4 to 5 years ago. |
12 |
|
13 |
Being a retired investigator, I know I must consider all the evidence even if |
14 |
it proves my initial theory was wrong. Here, the fact that no one else was |
15 |
reporting the same issue ( similar, yes, but not the same) led me to consider |
16 |
that I may not really have a problem, or that I may have somehow introduced |
17 |
the problem myself. I knew that was unlike simply because I had not make any |
18 |
changes on my system. For me, 2 weeks of -uNDv world and no entries in elog/ |
19 |
seemed unusual. I did check for duplicate entries in /var/log/portage. Like |
20 |
you said, they were not identical - one was a summary and the other the |
21 |
complete log. |
22 |
|
23 |
Don't know why I didn't think to do my test with the nvidia-drivers or some |
24 |
other package I know always puts a .log file in elog/ earlier. |
25 |
|
26 |
I think I will unmask portage as you suggest and give it a try. That is why I |
27 |
have 3 Gentoo installs. I try to keep one clear of problems and use it to |
28 |
sync off the Gentoo mirrors. I sync the other 2 installs off the first one to |
29 |
save bandwith all around. I use them to work out issues or try new things. |

Your help, insight, suggestions are much appreciated. |
