It's one of those days when every answer I seek creates more questions... any help 
appreciated:

-- I have a pending update to apache-2.0.54-r4. This is the long-awaited "apache package 
refresh", correct?

-- Assuming it is, I went to
http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/doc/apache-package-refresh.html#use
and read through that. It says that "There are some modules and packages that depend on 
Apache that have not yet been updated." I went to the bug report specified, and almost all 
the dependent bugs are closed... I don't think anything that was open will affect me. It 
also recommended using equery; I did and it came up with:

dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.1_p2-r1
dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.7_p1
dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.0_p2
dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.0_p3
dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.1_p2
dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.1_rc1
dev-php/mod_php-4.3.11
dev-util/subversion-1.1.3
net-mail/vqadmin-2.3.6
net-mail/qmailadmin-1.2.1
www-apps/gallery-1.4.4-r1
www-apps/gallery-1.4.4_p2
www-apps/gallery-1.4.4_p4
www-apps/gallery-1.4.4_p5
www-apps/gallery-1.4.4_p6
www-apps/gallery-1.4.4

Anyone see anything that they know still has a problem with the apache refresh?

-- (side question:) gallery and phpmyadmin are installed via webapp-config... didn't 
realize I was accumulating versions... how do I get rid of old ones?

-- The above migration document also talks about putting all the packages that support the 
apache changes in /etc/portage/package.keywords. But that's old information right? If the 
dependent bugs are closed, then the necessary packages should no longer be masked, right?

-- I will still need to reinstall dependent packages to get the path changes taken care 
of, right? The migration doc suggests the use of "emerge --update --deep"... Hmm, and when 
I try that for "apache subversion mod_php vqadmin qmailadmin phpmyadmin gallery", it comes 
up with about 50 packages... yikes. But that needs to be done, right?

-- (side question:) And actually, if I do the "emerge --deep ... world" version suggested 
there, it comes up with at least a hundred packages to update and then errors out, saying 
that "The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed on the same 
system." Why would that happen? And, I guess I've never paid much attention to the 
"--deep" option... is this something I should be doing more often?

-- This new "no-htdocs" USE flag is only necessary if I install gentoo-webroot-default, 
right? I DO NOT want gentoo to overwrite my htdocs!

-- I have phppgadmin installed as well... any idea why it doesn't show up in the equery 
report above?

-- And actually, if I do "emerge -p phppgadmin" I get:
[ebuild     U ] net-www/webapp-config-1.10-r14 [1.10-r11]
[ebuild   R   ] dev-db/phppgadmin-3.5.1
So, I'm current on phppgadmin, but there's supposedly an update to webapp-config!? But 
wait a minute, my "emerge -p world" doesn't show that... Hmm, I see, it's not in my world 
file... not sure how that happened. Well, I'll add it, but it be nice to know if there are 
others. Heh, I just tried regenworld and all it added was sys-devel/bin86... Why would 
webapp-config not get added to world and might there be other stuff that I'm missing. I 
depend on emerge world to keep me up to date!

Okay, that's enough meandering questions for now... thanks in advance for any help.
