i updated my openssl so all the packages that linked against the old openssl
needed to be re-emerged ...

so, i need to remerge gconf ...
root@vapier gtetrinet # emerge gconf 
 Calculating dependencies ...done! 
 >>> emerge (1 of 1) gnome-base/gconf-2.2.0 to / 
 >>> md5 ;-) GConf-2.2.0.tar.bz2 
 /usr/bin/gconftool-2: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 
  
 !!! ERROR: gnome-base/gconf-2.2.0 failed. 
 !!! Function dyn_setup, Line 387, Exitcode 127 
 !!! pkg_setup function failed; exiting.

interesting ... i need to re-emerge the package because its broken ... but i
cant because its ... broken ? :)

Please download this ebuild

http://twanger.dyndns.org/gconf-2.2.0.ebuild

place it in /usr/portage/gnome-base/gconf , overwriting the old one. Then try to merge gconf and report success or failure. Thanks.

the simpler solution is to add 'return 0' to the end of kill_gconf() ...

i didnt because i'm not a gnome guy and i'm not about to go editing gnome ebuilds ;)

Please go ahead and make the required change, as I don't yet have cvs set up. Thanks.
