butthead ~ # emerge -uDtpv world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [nomerge ] x11-misc/mkxf86config-0.9 -livecd [nomerge ] sys-apps/hwsetup-1.0-r2 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/kudzu-knoppix-1.1.36-r2 -livecd -minimal +nls +python 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB butthead ~ # Hmm, this output makes me think that there apparently are dependencies on kudzu-knoppix... Also makes me remember why kudzu-knoppix was installed... When trying to get X up and running I was using mkxf86config to generate the X config file. Removing those packages resulted in the removal of the previous need to install kudzu-knoppix. Shouldn't equery have identified kudzu-knoppix as a dependency for hwsetup? How then are dependencies determined by equery? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
