Description aeoo 2002-01-15 15:46:20 UTC
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

dependencies..............................................................................................................................................

/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.

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.
