12 I'm on portage 2.0.51.22-r3. This is a very new system - as part of the
13 install sequence portage was of course updated, so it was some earlier
14 portage version a week ago.

16 Seems a truism, but you're right. apache isn't in my world file.
17 somehow. And adding it to my world file does work around the symptom I
18 describe.

20 This begs the question of why it isn't there, considering it is
21 installed. I must wonder, what else that I've installed has somehow not
22 been added to the world file. Perhaps I'm exposing my ignorance, but is
23 the world file not supposed to have everything that is installed and not
24 in the base system definition? Under what circumstances (other than
25 failed/aborted emerge, which didn't happen) could something fail to go
26 into world?
