So why are you installing it, and all its dependencies, on the one

But it installed stuff either way. Instread of ABD, I got WXYZ because
of dependencies. It's not that I want them, it's that portage needs
them to make a package that I do want happy. This reminds me of the
six of one or half a dozen of the other. This may be nine of one tho.

My question was why are you installing cantor if you don't need it?
You don't use it, you don't need it, it drags in a bunch of dependencies
that require other packages to install more files too, yet you still want
it there.
Hint: I don't have cantor installed and the sky hasn't fallen in, at
least not yet.
Oh, I see. It was pulled in by kde-meta. I know I can have KDE other
ways but it is much easier to emerge kde-meta than to emerge < some huge
amount of packages >. There are times when I am looking through the
menu and find something interesting that I didn't know about before. So
far, Cantor isn't one of them. lol
