Its ok for a quick check - especially as I dont want ~x86 samba on that |

I regard /etc/portage and the way it has been done is a disaster waiting |
| 5 |
to happen. You have files hidden away in there that unless you make the |
| 6 |
effort, can (and do) keep insecure versions of software on your system - |
| 7 |
make sure you regularly check what you put in there! It also did not |
| 8 |
work properly on two of my systems (one has been decommissioned and the |
| 9 |
other has been so much upgraded I think the problem has gone away - I |
| 10 |
gave up after hours of trying to track down inconsistencies. |

Sorry, but I hanker back to simpler times when -i made things so easy |
| 13 |
and I didnt have to worry about someones idea of an "elegant" fix ... |
