Python was the first thing that came to my mind as an example of a package which is installed and not present in the world list, but didn't thing about the fact it is a system package also. Well, this behavior is the same for every package here (this time the example is with "mc"): === localhost ~ # cp /var/lib/portage/world . localhost ~ # grep mc /var/lib/portage/world app-misc/mc localhost ~ # sed -i 's/mc//g' /var/lib/portage/world localhost ~ # grep mc /var/lib/portage/world localhost ~ # emerge --noreplace app-misc/mc Calculating dependencies ..... ..... ........ done! >>> Auto-cleaning packages... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. * GNU info directory index is up-to-date. localhost ~ # grep mc /var/lib/portage/world localhost ~ # === So, I'll just wait for the devs to mark "stable" the next version of portage.
