Probably searching for packages that depend on mplib, (equery) then emerge -C them (it's what I'd probably do - depends...) then re-emerge them if you still use them? Note that I'd go back to finding what members of the world file need all this stuff and emerge that with -DuN, maybe even doing a -depclean after the emerge -C. It's all a guess though. Seems like this sort of thing happens when a package gets dumped in an upgrade but somehow the ebuilds or package manager don't get updated or just don't work perfectly. Again, all a guess but I can usually figure it out looking at equery output, etc. Good luck, Mark
