Packages are only added to world if they are merged by a command in the form emerge whatever. They will **not** be added if you used emerge =whatever-1.23 (or any ranged dep), emerge /path/to/whatever, emerge --oneshot whatever or ebuild whatever install. Packages will also not be added if they were merely pulled in as a dependency of some other package. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
