if you emerge several packages at once like "emerge p1 p2 p3 p4" an you Ctrl-C, after the some packages are already installed completely, those packages don't appear in WORLD. This may also happen, if the ssh connection aborts (because of bad WLAN...). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: the WORLD file should be updated after a package has been emerged, NOT at the end of a long emerge procedure.

I'd put some more information in on that. Generally world files will only go for p1, p2, etc., not their dependancies (portage can feel free to correct me on this). So that's why things might not be added to world when you CTRL+C. So basically, we need to know the point at which you are CTRL+C-ing.
The world file is updated after each package that is specified on the command line is merged. That is, `emerge foo bar baz` results in: * foo deps merged * foo merged * foo added to world * bar deps merged * bar merged * bar added to world * baz deps merged * baz merged * baz added to world If you have reproducable case where that doesn't happen, please reopen and show how to reproduce it.
