Description Narada Sage 2003-05-27 08:17:40 UTC
Hello

Ever since portage-2.0.48_pre6 until the stable release I have had the usual
messages about fixpackages when performing emerge sync.  However, please note
that my /usr/portage/packages/ directory is completely empty.  Also, I do not
have fixpackages or buildpkg in features.  As a result, it makes no sense to
output these messages about fixing packages.  Perhaps a check to see whether
these messages apply to the current system would be nice before outputting.

Many thanks
