For example, if acpid was installed as a dependency of a given package, and that package has been uninstalled. If can also happen if you emerged it with -1 or --oneshot. It can also be just a case of corruption in the world file. It can happen. The solution is as easy as to emerge that package again, without --oneshot, so it will be added to the world file. -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
