a botched gcc-upgrade/clean cycle damaged gcc beyond repair - but that was
easily solved by a 'unpack stage3, chroot into that, sync, emerge --buildpkg
gcc, cp, emerge --usepkg' cycle. The following harddisk crash was much harder
to work around
Apart from that: no.
My gentoo works fine and good and without probs.

Grant,
I've had a lot of problems lately upgrading ~arch and masked packages. This is expected (obviously) but 99% of the time I am able to fix them myself without going through support resources.
If you're using any that are ~arch and in packages.mask perhaps that is why you're having problems too!

I think you're right Brian. Of course, this is nobody's fault but
mine for using ~amd64 packages, but I only pull those in if I feel I
"have to". Quite a few of them now though. Does it seem like ~arch
packages have been more difficult lately?

Yes. Looks like my Gentoo box is rotting these days, but most probably
it's me not having time at all to iron out even the smallest things.
I have however a couple of *persistent* quirks I don't know how to fix.
One is Kopete refusing at all to delete MSN contacts. The other is
Flash+CompizFusion interacting badly. But I can live with that.

I think it could be the pick-and-mix approach to keywording, I use pure
~amd64 on my desktop and laptop and the only problems I've had recently
turned out to be a corrupt root filesystem.

How can you be so certain that not one of the thousands of Gentoo users
is having such problems ;-)

After almost 8 months withtou an upgrade, I finally decided to go on
with it, and to my surprise the only problem was a library that got
borked. After a little research, it was solved and the rest was
automagically done by portage.

I think I remembered seeing something on the compizfusion ml about
issues with flash.

yeah, mixing isn't good. Pure systems are way more stable.

I would have to agree here. When I tried to use keywords to pull in some
testing packages, I was in a world of hurt. When I just chose to use testing,
most of the problems disappeared - those that remained were mainly packages
that would not emerge. Those have been few, thankfully.
