I have a VMWare that I use for LAMP development. I have never put Xorg on it, nor do I ever want X windows on it. Recently, when I do an 'emerge -Davut world', I see this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- vmware ~ # emerge -Davtu world
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies !!! Packages for the following atoms are either all !!! masked or don't exist: sys-apps/fileutils sys-apps/textutils sys-apps/sh-utils ...done!

[Yes/No] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is trying to bring in all those NEW x11 packages? How can I prevent this annoyance? And what am I supposed to do with this information: !!! Packages for the following atoms are either all !!! masked or don't exist: sys-apps/fileutils sys-apps/textutils sys-apps/sh-utils Am I supposed to remove those packages? Ignore this message? 'esearch'ing for them turns up nothing. "You had me at EHLO" --E.Webb (10.04.05) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
