14 Hi,
15
16 First question, was it installed directly, or as a dependency for
17 something else? If directly, does it appear in the world file?
18 (/var/lib/portage/world) If it is a dependency, is the package that
19 depends on it, shown in the world file?
20
21 If the answer to the second question above is "no" then try adding
22 it into the world file, then emerge -DuvatN world again.
23
24 Regards
25
26 Anthony
