True but I had already re-synced a few times by then. I'm pretty sure what Neil was thinking is that when I synced, I just caught the tree in a state where some ebuilds were updated and some were not. Since it was several days later, 9 based on my sync and when you synced, and I had synced at least a couple more times, that is likely not the case here. I have had that happen a couple times tho. That is why I was syncing a few days in a row. I was hoping I just caught something out of sync. Dale :-) :-)
