baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1 says gawk is too old (it isn't)

Szplug

Hi,

I'm doing an emerge -u world and when it gets to baselayout I get:

....
gcc -o init init.o init_utmp.o
* Please install sys-apps/gawk-3.1.1-r2 or later!

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 128, Exitcode 0
!!! gawk too old

yet:
bash-2.05b# gawk --version
GNU Awk 3.1.2

and:
bash-2.05b# emerge -u gawk
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

Why is baselayout complaining?
thanks!

Hello,

unfortunatly, there is no solution for that problem, yet.
Try to re-merge gawk and then run your baselayout update again, that should solve the problem.

ok, thanks; it's working so far (though not done..).
