When php (cli) and mod_php4 are both emerged (because the ebuild said php (cli) could not be used with a webserver), unmerging mod_php4 (and probably vice versa) leads to removal of the files shared between both (Them sharing the same files could be an actualy problem maybe? As you could have different versions of the 2 types of php). /usr/include/php and things like that were fully removed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge php and mod_php 2. Unemerge mod_php (or probably php) Actual Results: After 1. php and mod_php shared files that could be different After 2. shared files got deleted (ie. /usr/include/php/*) Expected Results: Fix for 1 and 2. Different locations for the include files and other of mod_php and php. Fix for 2. Leave the shared files there if one is still "merged".

We need a php-common ebuild, that provides this stuff.
actually i'd mark this as a duplicate of a portage bug ... portage doesnt properly detect when you emerge something new and then emerge the older version ... happens with CD installs and with empty directories ... for now i'd suggest kludging it with a `touch <files>` in pkg_postinst and mark this as a dup of portage
fixed as of the 4.3.4-r1 series.
