These are instructions to portage to move things around for installed |
| 12 |
packages. For example, if someone had net-wireless/madwifi-tools |
| 13 |
installed, well that is now "net-wireless/madwifi-ng-tools" in |
| 14 |
portage. So portage needs to update the installed package database in |
| 15 |
/var/pkg/db to reflect the new name, so the user continues to receive |
| 16 |
updates for it. |

What you really should have seen was a message that said "Applying |
| 26 |
2Q-2006 updates" or some such. Not a "go look at this file" message. |
