I have a cron job on my system which runs emerge --sync && emerge -uDf
world early in the hours of the morning, so that each day I can login,
run emerge -uDp world and if I'm satisfied with what's about to be
updated I can upgrade straight away without having to wait for time
consuming syncs or downloads. However, this morning I woke up to the
following output from emerge -uDp world:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Given that my USE flags include -X, -gtk, -qt etc. (I don't want any
graphical stuff as this is a server machine, and I've never had
anything like this come up before), why on earth is portage wanting to
install all these new packages? The only thing I can think of is that
the dependancies for postgresql have somehow changed, running emerge
-uDpv postgresql throws up most of what is shown above plus:

[ebuild     U ] dev-db/postgresql-8.0.1-r3 [8.0.1-r2] -debug -doc
-kerberos +libg++ +nls +pam +perl -pg-hier -pg-intdatetime +python
+readline (-selinux) +ssl -tcltk +xml2 +zlib 0 kB

Have I done something wrong, or has something changed in portage?

Thanks in advance.

Paul
