Something has recently changed in portage/webapp-config that is causing
my webapps to fail to install.  I am using the litespeed websever but have
Apache injected using /etc/portage/profile/package.provided:-

net-www/apache-2.0.58

However when emerging I get the following error:-

* Running //usr/sbin/webapp-config -I -h localhost -u root -d /base base 1.2.4
* Fatal error: Your configuration file sets the server type "Apache"
* Fatal error: but the corresponding package does not seem to be installed!
* Fatal error: Please "emerge >=net-www/apache-1.3" or correct your settings.
* Fatal error(s) - aborting

So I seem to end up with the package correctly added to my world but not
configured correctly by webapp-config.  I imagine that webapp-config should
check the package.provided file and assume apache is installed and therefore
install correctly using the default Apache settings.

Well, not really webapp-config bug, portage completely ignores the file, i.e. -
apache is not installed for any portage purposes (incl. tools that check for
whether it's installed or not).

Or I just need to learn to stop sticking = in front of package.provided
entries. Sorry for the noise, portage folks.

Fixed in webapp-config-1.50.16. This version is available from my overlay
(http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/wrobel) and will be moved to portage next week.

Thanks for the report!
