Hi,

I attempted to emerge apache and here is what I got:

!!! failed to properly create symlink:
!!! /usr/lib/libmm.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libmm.so
!!! [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/libmm.so.1'
!!! Failed to move file.
!!! /usr/lib/libmm.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libmm.so

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
INCOMPLETE MERGE: /var/db/pkg/dev-libs/-MERGING-mm-1.3.0
INCOMPLETE MERGE: /var/db/pkg/dev-libs/-MERGING-mm-1.3.0
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/mm-1.3.0
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/expat-1.95.7-r1
[ebuild N ] sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.3-r1
[ebuild N ] net-www/apache-1.3.29-r2

So, it looks like it failed on the first dependency dev-libs/mm-1.3.0.
But why is it showing apache-1.3.29-r2? When I did "emerge -s apache"
it gave me:
* net-www/apache [ Masked ]
Latest version available: 2.0.50-r1
Latest version installed: 2.0.49
Size of downloaded files: 6,197 kB
Homepage: http://www.apache.org/
Description: Apache Web Server, Version 2.0.x

Where did it find version 2.0.49? From my Fink apache install?

Thank you for clarifying a few things here as I am really confused
about what portage is doing here.

Cheers,

Sébastien
