So when the xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8 ebuild re-linked /usr/X11R6/lib64 to ../lib64 it actually changed /usr/lib64. Realizing this, the following commands restored order to the system: rm /usr/lib64 ln -s lib /usr/lib64 Emerge, locales and everything else worked fine again after this. Is the /usr/X11R6 symlink something that some other ebuild should have removed? I previously had xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7 and that had no problems installing.
