Hey ho, all--
(I think that) Ever since I downgraded Xorg from 6.8.99 back to 6.8.2-r6
a couple of days ago, I've had reports from both etc-update and
cfg-update that there are 30 files needing to be updated (etc-update
reports them as being in /usr/lib/X11/xkb sometimes, but not always).
The problem is, these files do not exist, or rather are not found when I
then run the relevant utility:
* Regenerating GNU info directory index...
* Processed 326 info files.
* IMPORTANT: 3 config files in /etc need updating.
* IMPORTANT: 30 config files in /usr/lib/X11/xkb need updating.
* Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.

The following is the list of files which need updating, each
configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files.
1) /etc/conf.d/rc
/etc/conf.d/._cfg0000_rc
Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number.
(don't use -3 or -5 if you're unsure what to do)
(-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all remaining files)
(-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i'):
As you see, only three files (the files adjusted by the emerge -uaDtv
world which this report completed) appear.
The same thing happens with cfg-update:

The thing is, I cannot find the relevant files in the first place (which
may itself be the problem):

I don't see 30 relevant files to be updated, so I don't even know what
the update utilities are complaining about, or why they think there *is*
something to complain about.
The folder is listed in CONFIG_PROTECT (which I think is by default, it
seems unlikely that I would have added it by hand).
I should probably check b.g.o or the forums, but I have no idea what to
search for and I really don't have the energy atm to filter down a huge
list of hits from an untargeted search.
Can anybody help me either fix this or fine-tune my quest for the
misconfiguration that is causing this?

Indeed it seems strange. Both etc-update and emerge use the following to
find the cfg files:
find /usr/lib/X11/xkb -iname "._cfg????_*"
This would be recursive so maybe the files you are after are somewhere
below the listing you provide, you could run this command and see if it
finds any more cfg files.
