Gentoo: com_err and ss blocking e2fsprogs
After running into this on three computers, I figured I'd mention it here as well. It's a rather old issue by now, but at a certain point com_err and ss were moved to e2fsprogs on Gentoo. I found my workaround here : www.odi.ch/weblog/posting.php
Make sure not to unmerge com_err and ss before doing emerge -fuD world first!
Also, I had my "emerge" aliased to "sudo emerge". That won't work, because sudo also relies on com_err, which is unmerged at a certain point. Make sure you're logged in as root for this procedure.
