I have a box with r13 and I ran emerge --clean rsync; emerge sys-apps/portage and then emerge --world update. All went well (took a long time tho), except 2 minor things, one of which is this bug/error message: root@gamma portage # emerge --world update Calculating system dependencies.............................................................................................................................................. !!! Warning: couldn't find match for sys-apps/sysvinit in update (likely old /var/db/pkg entry) ...................................... done!
After the update has completed, now I get this: root@gamma aeoo # emerge --world --pretend update These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating system dependencies................................................ !!! Warning: couldn't find match for sys-apps/shadow-4* in update (likely old /var/db/pkg entry) ............................................................................................. !!! Warning: couldn't find match for sys-apps/sysvinit in update (likely old /var/db/pkg entry) ...................................... done! That's weird, because why would sys-apps/shadow-4* appear in /var/db/pkg after the update, and yet not exist? Was it removed/masked just today?
this is ok, sys-apps/shadow-4* was a typo and was missing an "=". And sysvinit is now part of sys-apps/baselayout.
