This is what I did:

root@gentoo f # emerge -pu world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.5

root@gentoo f # emerge -u world

I tried it again and it removed the partially installed package I think:

root@gentoo f # emerge -u world

sys-apps/baselayout

I think I got it to work by un mounting my cdrom

root@gentoo f # umount /mnt/cdrom/
root@gentoo f # emerge -u world

Is this a ebuild bug or possible something to do with my 108 outdated config files :oops:
And if it just looked like I installed the baselayout package is my system going to die when I reboot?

hm, I really do not like the sound of this, I'll unmount floppy and see what will happen.

A Q to gnumake, do you have supermount installed for your floppy and cdrom?
