Hi all, Here follows a quick heads up to save someone's hair (mine's been pulled out).
If you emerge --sync && emerge world today, make sure you do it the right way this time: 1. read the elogs 2. revdep-rebuild 3. then and only then, reboot. Better still, exit X and log in again to make sure it still works then only reboot. libtool got bumped to 2.2.4, which installs libltdl.so.3 which breaks a huge list of dependencies - much longer than I've seen in ages. In my case my dm and wm were broken so when X starts nothing happens and I lost the keyboard. Couldn't even get to a virtual console so had to do the usual fight with boot single user mode, remount / rw, start lvm, manually mount ... you get the idea alan -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
