@reporter: are you still having this problem?
what does 'equery l -e sys-libs/db' give (needs gentoolkit) ?
Problem fixed. Probably due to updating sys-libs/db from 1.85-r1 to 1.85-r3. Anyway: $ equery list sys-libs/db [ Searching for package 'db' in 'sys-libs' among: ] * installed packages [I--] [M ] sys-libs/db-1.85-r3 (1) [I--] [ ] sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2-r1 (4.2)
