[gentoo-user] world file - where has it gone?
Hi, I discovered that the file /var/lib/portage/world contains only a few lines where it contained hundreds of files before. Has the information previously kept in this file been moved to some other place (database?)? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut

As far as I’m aware, if you say `emerge foo`, then foo is added to that file. But a long time ago I switched to manually managing sets (essentials, kde, office, etc.). If you add -1 to the emerge command, then foo is not added to world. Perhaps you started using that argument. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any social network. “If a ship with 1000 investment bankers sinks in heavy seas, it is a tragedy.

Does it contain the packages you really need (not the dependencies)?
