Nope. It lists, e.g., /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test6, but there ain't no such animal. What's the purpose of the /var/cache/edb/virtuals file? It has, e.g.: virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/development-sources sys-kernel/gs-sources sys-kernel/win4lin-sourc es sys-kernel/gentoo-sources (sorry about the wrap) That's the source of the mix-up (sys-kernel/development-sources) ? I once tried win4lin, but got rid of it some time back. Because of the problems here, I never use "world" or "system" - don't like what they would do. I end up emerging package by package as needed. -- Ed Jabbour -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
