When you emerge a package, portage checks its dependencies too, and they were out of date according to your settings at the time. Setting this on the command line is even more wide-ranging than putting it in /etc/make.conf, because it overrides anything in /etc/portage/package.keywords too. -- Neil Bothwick PC DOS Error #03: Windows not found: (C)heer (P)arty (D)ance
