rj ~ # grep apache /var/lib/portage/world
net-www/apache

I tried emerge -C apache and emerge apache but that did not help. Portage still wants to depclean my apache installation.

The behaviour was the same with both 2.1.1-r1 and 2.1.2_rc1-r1

Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-11-05 23:00:24 UTC
Do you have apache in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided?  This issue and bug 133585 tend to confuse lots of people.

I do just don't remember ever putting it there as I have no need for it there. Oh, well. I guess the --depclean WARNING text should include text to make it clear that it will remove package.provided stuff.
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 14:13:49 UTC
I've updated the warning message in svn r4983.
Comment 4 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 15:32:25 UTC
This has been released in 2.1.2_rc1-r5.
