This is a very new system - as part of the install sequence portage was of course updated, so it was some earlier portage version a week ago.
Seems a truism, but you're right. apache isn't in my world file. somehow. And adding it to my world file does work around the symptom I describe. This begs the question of why it isn't there, considering it is installed. I must wonder, what else that I've installed has somehow not been added to the world file. Perhaps I'm exposing my ignorance, but is the world file not supposed to have everything that is installed and not in the base system definition? Under what circumstances (other than failed/aborted emerge, which didn't happen) could something fail to go into world? Thanks, glen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
