Ahh! Yes, I had forgotten about that file. Thank you Alan. I was following http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0023.html and the ACCEPT_LICENSE directive in make.conf as a way of managing licenses, but then I found an entry about skype in package.license. Hmm ... I wonder who put that in there ... :-) I think this warning confused me because it installed the package and *then* it issued a warning about the license. Usually the warning comes before, requiring user input before it continues with the installation. -- Regards, Mick
