No! This error occurs for instance when you have a package listed in the world file but it is not installed. Just test it and manually put some cat/some-pkg you have not installed in the world file and run "emerge -pv world" then portage starts complaining, although it would install the newly added entry with its dependencies. Emaint checks the world file for a few problems. For entries with invalid atoms, entries with a package that is not installed (see above example) and entries that have a category that is not listed in /etc/portage/categories. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
