Hi list,

I've been having a strange issue every so often.  I'll do a world update
(emerge -uDNav, etc) and that will proceed nicely, installing new packages
and suchlike.  I'll then do a little bit of the old emerge -pcv to check for
dangling packages and I will get the following:

!!! You have no world file.
!!! Proceeding is likely to break your installation.

Portage will then politely inform me that it needs to remove 190 packages
and I thank FSM I added -p.

So!  Googling that little tidbit produced nothing meaningful.  What's the
story?  Gremlins?

Thanks guys,
D
