I've seen this happen several times now and I've just noticed something which might be part of the problem: I've been specifying slots on the command line: paludis --install kde-base/kdebase-meta:4.2 kde-base/kdeadmin-meta:4.2 kde-base/kdenetwork-meta:4.2 kde-base/kdeartwork-meta:4.2 kde-base/kdegraphics-meta:4.2 kde-base/kdepim-meta:4.2 After installing all the packages, I get the following: Updating world file * skipping kde-base/kdebase-meta:4.2 (not a simple cat/pkg) * skipping kde-base/kdeadmin-meta:4.2 (not a simple cat/pkg) * skipping kde-base/kdenetwork-meta:4.2 (not a simple cat/pkg) * skipping kde-base/kdeartwork-meta:4.2 (not a simple cat/pkg) * skipping kde-base/kdegraphics-meta:4.2 (not a simple cat/pkg) * skipping kde-base/kdepim-meta:4.2 (not a simple cat/pkg) So I guess paludis will not add a package to world if you specify the slot. So, besides editing world directly, how do I get slotted packages into world?
