Perfect! May be I will prefer to refuse to install that package, after seeing its dependencies. >> Yet again, Gentoo is all about choise.

Yes, I do edit package.use almost every emerge world. And I like to do it. And I don't want to delegate this right to any program - portage, or any other. -- Regards, Alex
