It appears you no longer have a world file (because you moved it, |
| 8 |
rather than copying). |

I would copy it then, as Volker suggests, edit the original. |

If this is _really_ the case, then look at the packages that need 1.6. |
| 17 |
Look at the later, ~x86 or masked, versions of them and find one that |
| 18 |
supports 1.7. Unmask that & emerge it. |

As Alan hints at ("Edit the world file and remove every version number |
| 21 |
in that file if present"), I think you might find that you don't |
| 22 |
really have any packages that won't support later than 1.6. Perhaps |
| 23 |
you just have 1.6 pinned in your world file, or you have an older |
| 24 |
version of a package (which has since been upgraded to support 1.7) |
| 25 |
pinned. |
