Thankyou for this pointer! But: the file "/var/cache/edb/binhost/**/Packages" has a time stamp from December 2-nd and differs from the "Packages" file I downloaded manually yesterday. So when does Portage sync it? I ran "emaint sync -A" yes- terday and then experimented with "emerge --pretend". But this did not update file "/var/cache/edb/binhost/**/Packages". In any case the differences between these two files could well explain my problems. Sincerely, Rainer
