Problems with emerge or ebuilds? Have a basic programming question about C, PHP, Perl, BASH or something else?

I just did an emerge sync and got this message. It's been maybe 2 or 3 months.

Code: Select all

 * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.
However, I dont appear to have any news. I'm kind of curious what it was.

Code: Select all

# eselect news list  
Unread news items:
  (none found)              
Read news items:
  (none found)      

Code: Select all

# eselect news read all
<nothing>

news-gentoo.skip and news-gentoo.unread

When I cat those files I see (in both of them): 2009-07-12-xorg74-alpha.

Try deleting the *.skip file... I think when all news items have been read, files are deleted from /var/lib/gentoo/news.
