I found the same a few days ago, but didn't have the energy to sort out the mess. Just now I ran: $ sudo emerge -c dev-lang/ruby:1.8 dev-lang/ruby:1.9 dev-lang/ruby:2.0 json racc rake rdoc rubygems thin-provisioning-tools =virtual/rubygems-1 =virtual/rubygems-4 =virtual/rubygems-6 I'll reboot now and see if lvm2 can still mount my LVM partitions since I recompiled it without thin :-) (Later: it can!) -- Regards Peter
