RDEPEND="|| ( >=sys-apps/util-linux-2.22 sys-block/eject sys-block/eject-bsd )" Any one of them satisfies the virtual, but as the movies say, "there can only be one". To solve your problem... emerge --unmerge sys-block/eject emerge -1 sys-apps/util-linux emerge -uvaDN world Comments; 1) You must specify "sys-block/eject" on the unmerge, so it doesn't unmerge "virtual/eject" instead. (That's a different kind of "OOPS programming" ) 2) manually "emerge -1 sys-apps/util-linux" so that util-linux gets in ahead of "sys-block/eject" to satisfy "virtual/eject". -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
