Description Harris Landgarten 2016-09-28 03:21:32 UTC 
the installation of readline-7.0 causes the rm of /lib64/libreadline.so.6 which in turn instantly breaks bash, lvm2, and run time dependences of portage and paludis.

This results is an unusable and unbootable system.

After booting from cd I was able to manually restore libreadline.so.6.3 and libreadline.so.6 to /lib64 which allowed a reboot so I could rebuild the 45 packages broken by readline-7.0

I don't know how portage handled the upgrade but paludis broke things big time.
