I just attempted a new install of gentoo macos, and the last step of "emerge
system",
which was to install "sed" failed. Here's the output of the merge:

This resulted in an "INCOMPLETE MERGE" and no working sed on my system. I had
to manually unmerge all the files, then copy sed.ORIG back to sed. (Which I
had created
a copy months ago out of paranoia. :) So, I think it actually wiped out the
system sed,
even though collision protection is on.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.5.
Thanks for the bug report. Fixed in CVS.

pvdabeel, I think you might do similar things to other ebuilds. Could you (or other guys if he's busy) check it?
Thanks a lot. When I try it now I get:

Is there something I need to do to get my system back into a sane state?
Thanks.
Do you have something in /var/db/pkg/sys-apps?
If you are not running emerge, remove -MERGING-blah and foo.lockfile if you find any.
(Just FYI, you can delete files starting with - by "rm ./-MERGING-blah" or "rm -- -MERGING-blah")
