rust won't get removed because it is the first dependency of virtual/rust. All other packages should depend on the virtual, so if you unmerge rust and emerge -1 rust-bin the virtual will then use rust-bin. Portage will always favour rust over rust-bin if both or neither is installed. -- Neil Bothwick "I am a Cub Ranger. We dib dib dib for the One. We dob dob dob for the One."
