I suspect there is something wrong with -r1... after upgrade there is no pear :( These are the only things in /usr/bin dev-php/mod_php-4.3.6-r1 * CONTENTS: /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php-config.mod_php qpkg -v -f /usr/bin/pear dev-php/php-4.3.6 * Even though dev-php/php also has /usr/bin/pear, it still got deleted.
no, this is correct. dev-php/php is to provide /usr/bin/php as the CLI binary (which pear needs), and mod_php is to provide the apache binary. this is because multiple packages were providing the pear and php binaries, which caused problems when people uninstalled them. emerge dev-php/php again.
