Apparently an old version of portage didn't update all of the metadata properly when it performed the package moves. This should correct it: echo app-misc > /var/db/pkg/app-misc/mc-4.5.55-r5/CATEGORY touch /var/db/pkg/app-misc/mc-4.5.55-r5 echo net-firewall > /var/db/pkg/net-firewall/iptables-1.2.7a-r3/CATEGORY touch /var/db/pkg/net-firewall/iptables-1.2.7a-r3 HTH, Zac -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGjt2X/ejvha5XGaMRAjRpAKDbSxtB5jKZkP+CfxY7jPjDfPlc+QCg4WaK fMT3/qZZMjoCVC7/zbzW3l8= =g6JH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
