Portage and Updates
Hello,

I have just updated portage on one of my machines. Now it *appears* as though portage has lost all idea of what is install on the system. Is there any way to make sure portage is up-to-date on what is installed on the system?
Thanks
-Brad

'regenworld' updates the world file.
However that doesn't solve the problem in all cases.
if I do -depclean on my box it will show about 600 packages to remove, which is
pretty much 100% of what I have installed :/

but try the 'regenworld' maybe it works for you :)
