The package in not in my world file and it's being 'fetched' even
though it's already on the system.
Using your logic emerge -fDuN @world (meaning 'fetch everything I need
to do emerge -DuN @world) would 'fetch' everything. It should only
fetch files that are new (I.e. - meet the -DuN criteria) and indeed
for all other files it does not fetch them.
The -u option has no effect WRT this problem:
.c2stable ~ # emerge -fDN @world
Calculating dependencies... done!

c2stable ~ #
The 'fetch' is acting like it's 'new' as the -N option is what's
kicking this off:
c2stable ~ # emerge -fDu @world
Calculating dependencies... done!
c2stable ~ #
However, it's not 'new'. It's already installed.
I suspect this is some weird manifest issue or something having to do
with the ebuilds but I personally don't want to touch any of that by
hand.
The problem has existed for 2-3 weeks at least.

Mark
