No i don't. I suppose that it must've been created at install time, as i
have no recollection of making such a link myself. Hell, i'm just getting
acquainted with any of this application.
$ paludis -q media-gfx/xloadimage

Hmm, it doesn't show the
"From repositories: gentoo
Installed using: paludis-x.yy.z"
Okay, i'll remove it, and the symlinks, and i'll reinstall it:
$ su -c "paludis -u media-gfx/xloadimage --permit-unsafe-uninstalls"

PS: BTW, i most always use the "--dl-upgrade as-needed --dl-new-slots
as-needed --dl-reinstall if-use-changed --dl-fall-back never". Is there a
chance i could keep those in a ~/.paludisrc, or similar, some day? Thanks.
