Hello, list!
I haven't synced for about a month, and now that's what emerge gives me:
(Sorry for long list, but I need to leave it untouched so you can see all
packages)

I'm an "x86" guy :).
The question is: What are those new ('N') packages? Why might I need iputils
for example? I don't use them at all.
And I'd be very grateful if some one could point out what packages depend on
that 'N's?
May be its because some new USE-flags in make.globals?
a) I have libxml2 installed and I wonder why might I need 'libxml'? Even
'libxml2' docs recommend get rid of first version of library.
b) I don't use gnome! I don't need 'libglade'!
c) Gosh, I even don't know what is 'flac', 'libfame' and 'id3lib'!
d) I use mplayer, not xine!
e) 'i2c'? Why? lm-sensors are not installed.
WTF is going on? :-)
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry.
