Subject: [gentoo-dev] odd dependencies
Date: Fri, 14 May 2004 23:53:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40A5A252.9030101@skylineaero.com> (raw)

In my digging for how Portage really works, I've come across yet another oddity. 
In 'emerge -ep xfree', I get:

[ebuild  N    ] sys-devel/bc-1.06-r5

but 'qpkg -q -nc -I bc' shows:

sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420
DEPENDED ON BY:
         elfutils-0.94-r1
         prelink-20040317
sys-devel/bc-1.06-r5             <---------
DEPENDED ON BY:                  <---------
         SYSTEM PROFILE           <---------
dev-libs/libcroco-0.5.1
DEPENDED ON BY:
         librsvg-2.6.4
dev-libs/libcdio-0.66
DEPENDED ON BY:
         vcdimager-0.7.20

If bc is only in the system profile and not depended on by anything else, why is 
it getting dragged in by xfree?
