In your /etc/make.conf file do you have the following line? EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" You can do this on the emerge command line if you choose. See man emerge for info on doing that. I *think* the standard answer about why this happens is that --depclean and a basic emerge don't search all the dependencies exactly the same. If you add the --with-bdeps y option then they do. Anyway, I don't seem to run into this much using this in make.conf. Hope this helps, Mark
