Hi all,

Here follows a quick heads up to save someone's hair (mine's been pulled
out).

If you emerge --sync && emerge world today, make sure you do it the
right way this time:

1. read the elogs
2. revdep-rebuild
3. then and only then, reboot. Better still, exit X and log in again to
make sure it still works then only reboot.

libtool got bumped to 2.2.4, which installs libltdl.so.3 which breaks a
huge list of dependencies - much longer than I've seen in ages. In my
case my dm and wm were broken so when X starts nothing happens and I
lost the keyboard. Couldn't even get to a virtual console so had to do
the usual fight with boot single user mode, remount / rw, start lvm,
manually mount ... you get the idea
