On a freshly installed box when doing emerge -pv world I get the following. !!! Problems have been detected with your world file !!! Please run emaint --check world ------------------------------------------------- This tool is new to me so first thing I assume I should do is go read the manpage, but none found. The folowing --help gives me no clue to what this tool is actually supposed to fix. onyx ~ # /usr/sbin/emaint --help usage: emaint [options] all | world options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -c, --check check for problems -f, --fix attempt to fix problems -------------------------- Please add a manpage for the following util. -- If I actually run the tool it spits out the stupidest msg ever.. onyx ~ # emaint --check world Checking world for problems 'media-plugins/xmms-oggre' has no ebuilds available 'media-plugins/xmms-smpeg' has no ebuilds available 'sys-libs/libstdc++-v3' has no ebuilds available The reason its stupid is cuz those 3 packages are merged from ~arch
Fixed... see bug 108082. Those three packages merged from ~arch have no ebuilds available. Having them in your world file means that portage　just ignores them. That is a problem.
man page now in main/trunk/man/ the other issues you mention should be in a new bug report :p
