There is a typo: just drop the extra 'u'. It's just rasqal, like you used it correctly here below: > while qsearch says: > > qsearch rasqal > dev-libs/rasqal library that handles Resource Description Framework (RDF) > > Before I screw up my system: > Is there something more fundamental damaged? This is the spot where I think FEATURES="buildpkg" should be mentioned. It will help you roll back the old binaries should something bad happen. It is mentioned on the list regularly by many posters, most of them more experienced with it than I am. :) Still, I don't think upgrading rasqal should cause major havoc. Worst thing that happened to this box was that openoffice and soprano wanted to be re-emerged. So just some automated extra compiling, no big deal for me.
