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?


Cheers,

Tom
