Lets say A depends on B which in turn depends on C. emerge --update world will update A and B, but not C unless A or B's updates REQUIRE a layer C. Adding --deep will update C too (and D,E,F...) > 3) Where are the packages listed for system?

In your profile. the easiest way to list them is with "emerge -ep system". Emerging coldplug added it to your world file (/var/lib/portage/world). pciutils was installed as a dependency, so it is not listed in world (or system). If you uninstall coldplug (and any other packages depending on pciutils) emerge --depclean will remove pciutils , always use the -p option with depclean first. --=20 Neil Bothwick Did you hear about the blind prostitute?
