This should not have been a "silent update" it should have been a normal update because now goes against what the profile was designed for and blocks. BTW - Just try telling everyone that uses VMware 3.2 that they have to update that too because VMware 3.2 will not work above kernel-2.6.8 another reason too keep the profile working. emerge sync && emerge -Dup world displays: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies | !!!

What are you complaining of? I don
What are you complaining of? I don´t understand - vmware, glibc, profile, kernel, all mixed together. Also you failed to post emerge --info so we even don´t know what profile is causing problems to you.
Never mind I had USE="nptl". I'll shoot myself soon as I finish lunch. Please disregard.
