Post #2 from Mr. McKinnon is the question.
If, as it sounds like, you didn't let revdep-rebuild go ahead and
reemerge those packages itself, but rather you reemerged them
yourself, then I believe you will need to `revdep-rebuild -i` (see
manpage) to see if it has any other complaints. And there's n

Hey Walt,
Thank you so much for your response, I am sitting behind the machine right

Thank you! This worked fantastically.
Strangely enough, this bug never turned up during my search, but I

That does not fail. I can cd /root/Desktop perfectly. What I decided to do
is a fresh install to see where it was that I went wrong. fstab and mtab
looked ok.
I did load the live cd, mounted and chrooted over and saw that echo $HOME
did return /root.
If I do not make mistakes I will not learn.
