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? -- Andrew Gaffney Network Administrator Skyline Aeronautics, LLC. 636-357-1548 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
