There are 4 packages that don't seem like they should be bringing in virtual/x11-6.8, but they are. Also, it's really confusing trying to figure out /why/ they are bringing in virtual-x11. emerge -pvt is giving confusing results; basically saying that virtual-x11 is coming in because of packages which don't even have an optional dependency on X. :( I tried using equery g, but that actually says the packages I'm trying to bring in /won't/ need virtual/x11-6.8. Anyway, I've got an emerge capture and the relevant equery output, I'd love it if someone could look at them and tell me what I need to do to complete the migration. I didn't want to post them to the list because they are about 38k... -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
