But it seems there should be some indication of what is going to happen. Maybe a higher verbosity level would have revealed what was about to happen? I don't understand how the `illegal state' happened.. Does the fact that I'd just run `emerge sync' have bearing on what happened or would any emerge command have provoked the uninstall of earlier versions of emacs-cvs? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
