   After about 6 hours (didn't really count) since I started "emerge -e   
   world", I found the system had stopped with the following error:   
      
      
   --- CUT HERE ---

     * The specific snippet of code:   
     *              die "Please run: FEATURES=-unmerge-orphans emerge cracklib"   
     *  The die message:   
     *   Please run: FEATURES=-unmerge-orphans emerge cracklib   
   --- CUT HERE ---   
      
      
   Now is it safe to do what it says; namely to run   
   'FEATURES=-unmerge-orphans emerge cracklib' ?  Because as far as I know,   
   I won't be able to do 'emerge --resume' afterwards and would have to do   
   'emerge -e world' all over again, with the last 6 hours totally wasted.   
      
   I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
