Good morning ;-) I think i repaired my environment ;-) I did a "qfile -v /usr/local/lib/python2.5" and unmerged all packages installed into this directory. After the unmerging i still had python files remaining in /usr/local/lib/python2.5. I erased them because the only package owning /usr/local/lib/python2.5 was sys-apps/file .... After that i remerged them again and all of a suddend each package went into /usr/lib/python2.5 I believe it had something to do with the autoconf macros: AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM Perhaps i pulled in a buggy ebuild from somewhere so that it got installed into /usr/local/lib/... and the other ebuilds all guessed the install dir by locating python? I still can't figure out what went wrong but i think it's solved now... /usr/local/lib is empty now and no ebuilds are complaining so far. Thanks to you all! :-) - Andreas
