Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/portage query

[DAVID]

That was the thing I was looking for 'regenworld'. Forgot 
about that command, even though used it before. I just 
generally use it though when portage sometimes loses track 
of some of the packages I have installed.

Would think you could test it by renaming the portage 
directory to something else. Then see if it will recreate 
it. Don't think there is any hard link that would prevent 
you from just renaming it back to portage if regenerating 
it failed.

Just a quick question... if, by some chance, the entire

to restore it?
Or are there other files in there that emerge depends 
on.
Yes.  There is the world file so you would need to run 
'regenworld'.
