[gentoo-user] Phantom libcap?

[Ed Jabbour]

emerge -uDvp world listed net-libs/libcap as upgrading from 0.8.3-r1 to 
0.9.3.  However, the Gentoo database has no such animal, but rather 
sys-libs/libcap.  Locally, eix libcap also lists only 
sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5.  The net-libs "version" is not 
in /usr/portage/net-libs.  There just doesn't appear to be a 
net-libs/libcap, even though emerge shows an installed version.  Any advice 
appreciated.  Thanks.

This is a WAG, but it could be that the package was moved. The package moving 
mechanism allows current installations to automatically transition to the new 
name.
