Just emerged the above baselayout then did etc-update. It prompted to update both net.lo and net.eth0 (which I had symlinked to net.lo, as instructed in a previous update). When I said yes to the changes, etc-update replaced the symlink with the updated contents of the file that the symlink linked to (ie. net.lo), so I had 2 copies of net.lo Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.5- r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/ share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config / usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/ defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/ texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/ platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk/mirrors/gentoo http://ftp.easynet. nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ http://ftp- stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" LC_ALL="en_GB.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://192.168.0.2/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext S3TC X a52 aac aalib acpi alsa amd apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bonobo bzip2 bzlib cdda cddb cdio cdr chroot clamav crypt cscope cups curl dga directfb disablexmb divx4linux dmx dv dvd dvdr dvdread edl emboss encode ethereal faac faad fam fb fbcon ffmpeg fla flac fmod font-server foomaticdb freetype gb gd gdbm geoip gif gimpprint gmail gnokii gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile howl ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib imlib2 java javascript jpeg jpeg2k junit lcms libcaca libg++ libgda libwww live lzo lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir mailwrapper matroska md5sum mikmod mjpeg mmx mmxext mng monkey motif mozcalendar mozdevelop mozilla moznoirc mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mpeg4 mplayer msn mysql ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly ntlm nvidia oav odbc ogg oggvorbis opengl operanom2 oss pam pcntl pcre pdf pdflib perl pic png ppds python qt quicktime readline real rtc samba sasl scanner sdl sftplogging slang sms snmp speex spell sse ssl stream svg sysfs tcpd tga theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd vidix vlm vorbis win32codecs wma123 wmf wxwindows xanim xface xine xml xml2 xmms xosd xpm xprint xrandr xv xvid xvmc yahoo yv12 zlib video_cards_nvidia userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LINGUAS
