I don't do any automated emerges (that seems extremely dangerous to me). I only "emerge sync" via crontab every night. Then I manually do an 'emerge -Davu system' (and world) to see what needs updating. I'll pick and choose from there.
I did change my USE="nptl nptlonly -cups -debug acpi wifi mysql php apache2 mmx sse" and added those 'nptl' and 'nptlonly' and followed a gentoo howto (which involved an 'emerge --newuse'). I don't think that threading is the issue here though as it's a uid/gid wrapper permission problem. Well, here is everything emerged on the 7th (the 5th and 6th had no results). The 5th is the last email I have saved from the list, so that is why I chose these dates to focus on. Nothing else in this list looks related to mailman.

If I "emerge unmerge mailman", and then "emerge mailman" will it do a complete re-install WITHOUT killing my actual lists (setups, users, data, etc)? This is so frustrating. I don't understand why this is broken when mailman AND exim are both the same versions that were already installed and already worked fine. *sigh* -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
