This is a good point if it turns out that this isn't temporary. See below... > How is this news item going to help ppl in a month from now (till the > issue is solved in its entirety).

As soon as new stages get built with portage 2.1.9 (i.e., as soon as it goes stable, as I understand the autobuild process), it should no longer be a problem for fresh installations. It will of course remain a problem for people who wait forever to update their systems, but it will come in as a news item whenever they do update. It almost makes you wonder whether portage-2.1.9 should run lafilefixer itself in postinst, just to ensure everything's fixed on the system before it starts fixing individual new packages. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Sr. Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com
