Today (2007-10-25) I did an emerge --sync and emerge portage. I then tried to do an emerge system and got errors with the first package, com_err-1.40.2.

Created attachment 134421 [details] config.log Sorry, here is the file.
> linux/limits.h: No such file or directory You unmerged sys-kernel/linux-headers?! Well, don't do this.
Uninstalling parts of core system - NOTABUG.
yes, well linux-headers was a blocking package and it did not let me emerge system with it installed. I will re-install it and try again.
