My last change in /etc/portage was on 2020-04-25, to package.accept-keywords. I've emerged loads of times since then. In package.mask/openrc, I've had the following line since 2015: Full outputs on commands might also be useful to troubleshoot. I don't think I've got that any more. I've had a look in /var/log/emerge.log, and there's just records of which versions of packages are emerged and unmerged and when, but not why or how. > Even if you use systemd it is actually hard to get rid of openrc - > generally you have to mask it to force it to not install.

I've grepped through all files in /etc/portage, but there's only the one very old mention of openrc (see above) in them. Might openrc-0.34.11 have been dependent on Python 2.7, and that's why it was swept away? I'm mystified, and somewhat unsettled. > -- > Rich -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
