Yes, I know about that. What I want is a way to ignore dependencies the same way I ignore updates using package.mask and package.unmask. For example, the gnome meta-package depends on evolution and epiphany, though none of them are actually required to run gnome. It just happens that the meta-package installs a full gnome environment. Now I know about gnome-light, but there must be other packages with unneeded dependencies like this. -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil | -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
