dhcpcd was recently (couple months back) removed from "system". If you |
34 |
installed your system before then, dhcpcd would not have been recorded |
35 |
in the world file since it was part of system, which is included in |
36 |
the packages checked when you do emerge -uD world. |
37 |
|
38 |
After it has been removed from system, unless you added it to world |
39 |
yourself, none of the emerge -uD world operations would have updated |
40 |
dhcpcd, and so dhcpcd, never passing through emerge since its removal |
41 |
from system, never was added to the world file. So now emerge -uD |
42 |
world doesn't know it is on your system. |
