You're not out of sync, Holly is, possibly an upstream sync issue. > This is why I neglected to see that clipboard and vim-with-x were > related.

This file is resynced when you 'emerge --sync'; it is not owned by a package in portage. If you look at the timestamp of the file it should match the date of your last sync. For Holly's case, I'm wondering if she's syncing against a system that doesn't mirror that file from upstream? Just a guess. -- [email protected] mailing list
