It's also installed on my system and probably it's a forgotten relict from ancient times (my last gentoo installation on this machine was in 2007). To be honest, I never ran eix-test-obsolete. My system is running fine and atm I don't have much time. So I will leave it as it is. Maybe the static dev is useful in the case that udev refuses to work for any reason. :-) -- Regards wabe
