After emerging bzip2 i found out it doesn't get added to world. After a short research i found out that a lot of packages i emerged earlier didnt't show up in world. This is really bad, because we use world to keep our server on a common standard. This happens on my workstation too for packages like gtk+. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge bzip2 2. Look in /var/lib/portage/world 3. Actual Results: bzip2 can't be found in /var/lib/portage/world Expected Results: bzip should be found in /var/lib/portage/world tgxl012:/home/root # emerge --info Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.8.1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8.1 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1,sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg candy ccache collision-protect digest distcc distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j60" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/data/local-portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apache2 berkdb crypt encode f77 font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gpm imlib ipv6 libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx ncurses nls oss pam perl python readline slang spell sse ssl tcpd truetype-fonts type1-fonts x86 xml2 zlib"
things like bzip are already part of system, they dont need to be explicitly added to world (since system is implied in world) as for 'gtk+', that would only have been added to world if you did `emerge gtk+` re-open if you have a better/valid example
