Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-24 14:53:15 UTC 
The portage cache was not updated properly when I did an "emerge sync".. The
flags for the sys-libs/lib-compat-1.1 package where not changed properly from
~x86 to x86. I had to delete the file in the cache to make it work.
Comment 1 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-24 23:52:13 UTC 
How did you determine this?
What version of portage?

Not that you can get this info, but...
What were the mtimes on the files?
Comment 2 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-25 00:49:49 UTC 
I determined this because "emerge -u world" said that netscape-flash needed
lib-compat which was masked, but it was not masked in the /usr/portage tree..
but only in the cache... (I checked in the cache). I can't tell you the mtime of
the cache file because I deleted it..  but the mtime of the /usr/portage file is
2002-12-19 03:47. I have portage-2.0.46-r2 ..

Have to dismiss as a fluke. It happens.
