I emerged/unmerged a few packages and now my /opt is empty - apart from a firefox directory. Lots of data lost - since it was "just" /opt fortunately nothing critical Lets try to figure out what happened: I did the usual emerge -u world. One of the updated packages is firefox. System starts to emerge packages, stopps during the emerge of firefox-1.0 with an error. I decide to use the firefox-bin instead. So I do emerge -C mozilla-firefox (unmerges firefox-10_rc2) emerge mozilla-firefox-bin (emerges firefox-1.0) then I start the emerge world again, still lots of packages to update ... emerge works for a while and then stops during configure of one package: it complains about not finding javac. What the hell is going on? I sure do have that? But a manual javac -v indeed returns an error (not found) So I take a look in /opt and OMG: its empty!! ok, not quite, there is a lonesome firefox directory there - but that's it. The only packages in the whole process which deal with /opt are the firefox ones so I suspect one of those to have cleaned out my /opt Just wonder which one.
reopen with the output from emerge --info please.

Sorry, I'm soooo stupid! Don't know what went wrong but apparently the /opt was not mounted when I executed the mentioned actions - After booting the machine again everything is there Sorry - will check double next time :)
