Build log to follow. Occurred during update; emerge advised that device-mapper was blocking lvm2, so unmerged device-mapper, which I'm guessing may previously have built the devmapper-event library. emerge update then failed to compile lvm2 because it can't find -ldevmapper-event.

I had a rummage to find out why the system wants to pull lvm2 in in the first place, as it was a new import. It's caused by use=crypt and sys-apps/hal, which interprets use=crypt to mean "include support for encrypted drives" rather than "mcrypt/gpg" which is what the global use flag means - causes cryptsetup to be pulled in which pulls in lvm2 (or device-mapper, which I removed due to emerge advising of block). Perhaps some rationalisation of the use flag would be useful; suggest keeping use=crypt to mean adding encryption algorithm support and create a separate one to add encrypted disk support (sys-apps/hal, sys-power/suspend), as it makes sense to want the former without necessarily the latter. I have put sys-apps/hal: -crypt in /etc/portage/package.use for now.
Last note for now - I believe this relates to changes made on bug #285360 (despite that bug being invalid).
Same thing for me. No libdevmapper-event lib.
