On these servers something has started to pull in sys-apps/kmod, which when compiled complains about missing modules-support in the kernel (as it should). Doing an "equery d sys-apps/kmod" I can see that the following two packages depends on sy-apps/kmod: sys-fs/udev-197-r8 (kmod ? >=sys-apps/kmod-12) virtual/modutils-0 (sys-apps/kmod[tools]) sys-fs/udev has "-kmod" in its USE-flags, so that should not be an issue). # emerge --verbose --pretend sys-fs/udev [ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-197-r8 USE="acl openrc -doc -gudev -hwdb -introspection -keymap -kmod (-selinux) -static-libs" 0 kB With virtual/modutils its an other thing, here we have a circular dependency between virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod if the tools USE-flag is set. So trying to resolve this a unmreged virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod and tried the following: # USE="-tools" emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend --tree These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB [ebuild N ] sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1 230 kB Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 230 kB # equery d sys-apps/modutils * These packages depend on sys-apps/modutils: # equery d virtual/modutils * These packages depend on virtual/modutils: Can someone explain to me why these two are getting re-emerged (nothing seems to depend on them and I have previously unmerged them)?
