I see a big part of my problem, being a user type, is that I really don't understand slots at all, other than letting the system somehow have multiple versions of the same package for whatever reason. (Which is far beyond me!) Anyway, I did emerge -C on the offending packages and then emerge -pvDuN world and revdep-rebuild again to make sure everything was correct. All seems good. Now --depclean is working and I can clean up at the next level. The problems of administering a machine 350 miles away. It only happens once or twice a year and there's often a lot to learn and a lot to do. thanks again, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
