package.provided is the wrong file. Your problem is caused by busybox being in @system, which is a subset of @world. That's why you see the message about it being in world even though it is not in the world file. To remove it from @system, add -sys-apps/busybox in /etc/portage/profile/packages. -- Neil Bothwick "Everything takes longer than expected, even when you take into account Hoffstead's Law." - Hoffstead's Law
