The gentoo-user mailing list had this problem but for that user syncing solved it. In our case this hasn't worked. Is there a misconfigured ebuild somewhere? Much appreciated. -- Dhruba Bandopadhyay | dhruba.AT.codewordt.co.uk ICQ: 31628525 | MSN: bdhruba.AT.msn.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
