22 Have ready the output of 'emerge --info' in a file. Then go to
23 bugs.gentoo.org, create an account and log in. Search for existing bugs
24 against the ebuild you're interested in, including its version. If there is
25 one, you could add yourself to its CC list (top right corner) to be notified
26 of changes. Otherwise, create a new bug report, giving as much detail as you
27 can. Attach your --info file to the bug.

29 Job done.
