I was bitten by this last night: I resync'ed, ran 'emerge -uaNDv -- withbdeps=y @world' and made a note of all packages which portage wanted to rebuild, but at the same time was asking me to unmask virtual/pam. Then emerged them with --oneshot and portage stopped asking me to unmask virtual/ pam thereafter. I suppose --changed-deps would also work, but I didn't try it. -- Regards, Mick
