Yes, because the file is no longer the file portage installed, so it has no right to remove it. > If I unmerge this in a console and can't read all the "-- > !mtime" as they roll by, I'm stuck with orphan files on my rig?

It arises here because fix_libtool_files.sh modifies the .la files. One could argue that it is the responsibility of that script to check the md5/mtime information and update it. -- Neil Bothwick A computer scientist is someone who, when told to "Go to Hell," sees the "go to," rather than the destination, as harmful.
