Description Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I just did an emerge glibc -f
After it downloaded the files, it started cleaning out my currect glibc!!! (If 
I didn't managed to stop it with CTRL+C, it would have removed my glibc, so I 
couldn't compile anything!)
Portage shouldn't autoclean when using -f parameter, since it might destroy 
the system :(
