I was cleanning up my system today, when I accidentally uninstalled 'attr', and it appears to be a very necessary package....
But when I try to remerge it, I get an error that libattr.so is missing and that it cannot emerge.
So how would I remedy this?

It is not needed (unless you want to use extended attributes, which go beyond the ususal unix file permission attributes)

Can you post the exact error message? |

It seems that it was needed because I couldn't so much as use the command 'ls' without it complaining. 
It's cool though, I just copied the libattr.so file off the live cd to my drive. Situation resolved.

| You need attr if you set the "acl" use flag. if you unset that flag and reemerge coreutils, then you can unmerge attr. |
