If you can't find a culprit in /etc/portage, as already suggested, try renaming that directory and running .emerge -puDN world to see if it still happens. Stable packages shouldn't depend on testing packages so either you have a setting in /etc/portage that is causing this or a buggy ebuild. Another possibility is that this is caused by something in an overlay, which you can quickly test by commenting out any OVERLAY or layman entries in make.conf. --=20 Neil Bothwick I can't walk on water, but I can stagger on alcohol. --Sig_/nV5I9L1Dbqnqbw9YL0OF7j6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk2P0fMACgkQum4al0N1GQNq+QCePM/GwRyJjRFFrNSo50mgKla1 s+AAoMZ3BLqipTk13F/ziN00S/u4ul3S =FJ1+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/nV5I9L1Dbqnqbw9YL0OF7j6--
