se case than most?  I ask because mine is on as well.  Given the large volume of data I have, if it needs to be off, I want to turn it off and build a new kernel.  I rarely mount anything read only anyway so I can't think of a reason I would ever need it.  I either unmount completely or run it when mounted as read/write if fsck allows it.  Thanks.  Dale :-)  :-)

Grasping at straws here.  Could it be that it was built against one version of python but another is now installed and active, and not the one it is built against?  I looked at the USE flags on my system.  The only ones are for python targets and test, which us lowly users don't use.  The only problem that I can think of is a problem with python version.  Another thought.  I have made the switch to python 3.13 but have other versions installed for a few packages that need them.  This is what I show for what python is selected.  root@Gentoo-1 / # eselect python list Available Python interpreters, in order of preference:   [1]   python3.13   [2]   python3.12 (fallback)   [3]   python3.11 (fallback) root@Gentoo-1 / # If you still on 3.12, it may show it as selected, not fallback.  Anyway, checking that and seeing what the system is working with might give a clue.  Maybe.  It's another straw at least.  Dale :-)  :-)

sure how to fix that.  Basically, portage stores data on what is installed in /var but the packages are in /, mostly /(s)bin and /usr.  Basically, portage thinks one thing but the truth is something else.  I suspect emerge isn't happy since it is so confused.  I hate when a drive goes bad.  :

The data is secure tho.  You may want to look at how people set up their laptops to prevent theft and see if that would work in your case.  Really, that's kinda what you want to accomplish even tho it is a desktop and not so easy to carry off.  I've also read that some super secret gov't laptops have a lot of security built in.  That may be something else you can look into if you really want to lock down a puter and your BIOS supports that sort of security level.  Just a couple thoughts that may help.  Dale :-)  :-)
