Incorrect. Something else is pulling it in and you snipped that output. Your initial post only says that emerge wants to include jpeg and it won't emerge version 7 as it is unstable and your box is stable. It's from some package that specifically wants jpeg-7 as opposed to just jpeg. Most likely netpbm which is hardcoded to DEPEND on jpeg-7. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
