It means your provides cache is out of date. This most commonly happens if you mix Portage and Paludis usage, although it can also be caused by Gentoo developers screwing around with metadata in weird ways. You can probably fix it by paludis --regenerate-installed-cache. -- Ciaran McCreesh _______________________________________________ paludis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pioto.org/mailman/listinfo/paludis-user
