I noticed this behavior as well. It's because the apache USE flag was removed from the php package. Once the 4.4.7 build succeeded (but failed since it didn't produce an apache1 mod), a downgrade to 4.4.6 wasn't possible (since neither had the USE flag available). Luckily, there's always source to work from, or if you've got another identical machine that hasn't emerege --sync 'd yet... (nice to keep one around that syncs at a slower pace than others for this reason). One question from a gentoo newbie: Unmasking apache and its associated packages was simple enough, but is there a way to allow a USE flag from a hard-masked package like apache to be used by packages like php? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
