I tend to use app-portage/eix instead of emerge for searching functions, so if you're in the mood for experiments you could try installing that and initialize its database (/var/cache/eix/portage.eix) with eix-update. Assuming that worked, search for mythtv with 'eix mythtv' and you should see any available and installed versions. This should at least distract you from worrying about a portage bug :)

Can you also check whether the correct package version is listed in /var/db/pkg/media-tv (and, if the old version was removed, that the old version is _not_ listed in there)? -- wraeth wra...@wraeth.id.au GnuPG Key: B2D9F759 pgpNqeZ0n5daj.pgp Description: PGP signature
