Is that because the 181 package moved files to /usr/ which is under the control of the Gentoo packager, or because the source release of 181 upstream changed something? I can't see anything in the 181 source release to cause this to happen, care to point out the offending commits to me, as I must be missing soemthing. > > It's other packages that are the problem here. > > You mean like systemd?

Again, any specific pointer to a commit in the tree that caused this? thanks, greg k-h
