It's very minimal: USE="-* perl acl acpi hardened kerberos krb4 ssl dvd sse mmx readline \ lm_sensors syslog " and running hardened: 2.6.14-hardened-r8 It's been working fine emerge updates request very little. However today, upon syncing the system, then 'revdep-rebuild -p' I get these unwanted packages: [ebuild N ] dev-db/mysql-4.1.20 USE="perl ssl -berkdb -big-tables -cluster -debug -embedded -extraengine -latin1 -minimal -raid -srvdir -static" [ebuild N ] dev-perl/DBD-mysql-2.9007 USE="perl -minimal" [ebuild N ] media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.6-r1 USE="-mikmod -mp3 -timidity -vorbis" [ebuild N ] media-libs/smpeg-0.4.4-r7 USE="mmx -X -debug -gtk -opengl" [ebuild N ] dev-python/pygame-1.6.2 Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run revdep-rebuild. Furthermore, using 'equery depends ' nothing is calling for these packages.... When I run 'slocate pygame' dozens of things pop up. Yet: eix pygame * dev-python/pygame Available versions: 1.5.3 1.5.5 1.5.6 1.6 1.6.2 ~1.7.1 Installed: none The world file does not show any of these packages, so for example, pygames must be a vestige of the workstation setup. Any hints on getting ride of request for these packages, other than using package.mask? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
