Listed are issues which need your attention and manual fixing.

2009

Using 10.0 profile and x11-libs/libxcb upgrade

Be sure to run reconcilio/revdep-rebuild afterwards, in my case a total of 66 packaged needed a rebuild.

# reconcilio

Portage preserve-libs feature and e2fsprogs/util-linux upgrade

Portage keeps complaining about preserved libs, even after multiple runs of emerge @preserved-rebuild.

# emerge @preserved-rebuild

# rm /lib64/libuuid*

# rm /lib64/libblkid*

# emerge util-linux --oneshot

2007

bash error message

bashref.info.gz was replaced by a tar.bz2 version bashref.info.bz2, thus you can safely delete the older symlink.

# rm /usr/share/info/bashref.info.gz

Emerge: error: C compiler cannot create executables

z.B.: Beim Emergen von sys-apps/sandbox Template:Box Code

This problem arises if you've once had eselect-compiler installed on your system. It was buggy and has been deprecated for now (use gcc-config). You can solve this issue by manually removing all left over files created by eselect-compiler. To identify all of them:

host ~ # find /usr/bin | xargs strings -f 2> /dev/null | grep "Unable to determine executable" | cut -d : -f 1
