That means that the package |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1.- it is not in the world file (/var/lib/portage/world), _and_ |
| 19 |
2.- it is not a dependency of any package that is on the world file |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
That could happen for many reasons. For example, if acpid was |
| 22 |
installed as a dependency of a given package, and that package |
| 23 |
has been uninstalled. If can also happen if you emerged it with |
| 24 |
-1 or --oneshot. It can also be just a case of corruption in the |
| 25 |
world file. It can happen. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The solution is as easy as to emerge that package again, without |
| 28 |
--oneshot, so it will be added to the world file. |
