I can see three ways portage could respond to additions to the world file: 1. skip the added package 2. install the added package 3. abort due to state file inconsistency Of the three, I would select #2. I would be hard-pressed to choose between #1 and #3 as the lesser of two evils. My initial instinct is to avoid arbitrary crashes, but if installing packages found in the world file is dangerous, perhaps a stronger reaction may be in order. Perhaps somebody could seed my memepool on this issue. --=20 Batou: Hey, Major... You ever hear of "human rights"?
