i wanted to use gcc 4.1.2 so i upgraded my Gentoo 2007.0 amd64 using:

1.) emerge --sync
2.) emerge -avuDN world
3.) etc-update
4.) emerge --dpeclean
5.) emerge gentoolkit
6.) revdep-rebuild

it took 14 hours to do everything and after that i faced weired problem. when i wanted to change something in "/etc/conf.d/clock" then i opened it using nano and when i press any key i get some weired characters printed on my screen :-(. somethings like these:

get_opt() [3] meta_key=FALSE[12] (+ lots more characters)

no matter which file i open and which key i use, it always prints thousands of those characters onto my screen. a big surprise is that to exit from nano ono needs to use "C-x" and that works, even after printing those characters it does not ask to save the file, as if the file did not change.


i REINSTALLED Gentoo secrect-sauce and updated again, this time with CONFIG_PROTECT="-*"
in "/etc/make.conf" but SAME problem surfaced again.


any solution ?

First, do the etc-update one more time. Maybe revdep-rebuild made some new ._cfg files based on (maybe) changed USE flags or something else. Did the emerge -avuDN world update the gentoo-sources (or what ever sources you use)? If so, try recompiling your kernel and reboot the machine.

ok, i need to install Gentoo again and then update it. i removed it last time because i could not do anything as it did not let me edit any configuration file.

NO, "emerge -avuDN" did not update the gentoo-sources. so should i:

1.) emerge gentoo-sources or
2.) just compile the kernel i already have (2.6.20-r8)

??
