I decided to stop using exim so I unmerged that and fetchmail and used "rc-update del exim" wich went fine. I did the same for cups and switched to pdq. As well as just plain took out openssh. Now I'm getting weird depends for things even after fixing my user flags in make.conf(I altered it to"-" any exim and cups) I also ran updatedb.
On 'emerge -puDv world" I get the following: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] net-misc/openssh-3.6.1_p2 -ipv6 -static +pam +tcpd -kerberos -selinux [ebuild N ] net-mail/ssmtp-2.48 [ebuild N ] net-print/cups-1.1.19-r1 +ssl -slp +pam Now then I use qpkg and what I list below is actually stuff in red: $ qpkg -q cups net-print/cups-1.1.18-r5 DEPENDED ON BY: app-emulation/wine-20030813 app-emulation/winex-transgaming-3.1 app-text/ghostscript-7.05.6-r3 kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.3-r1 net-print/cups-1.1.19-r1 DEPENDED ON BY: app-emulation/wine-20030813 app-emulation/winex-transgaming-3.1 app-text/ghostscript-7.05.6-r3 kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.3-r1 net-print/cups-1.1.19 DEPENDED ON BY: app-emulation/wine-20030813 app-emulation/winex-transgaming-3.1 app-text/ghostscript-7.05.6-r3 kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.3-r1 ----- Things that list in yellow: $ qpkg -q ssmtp net-mail/ssmtp-2.48 DEPENDED ON BY: net-mail/ssmtp-2.38.14-r1 DEPENDED ON BY: net-mail/ssmtp-2.60.3 DEPENDED ON BY: --- $ qpkg -q openssh net-misc/openssh-3.6.1_p2-r1 DEPENDED ON BY: net-misc/openssh-3.6.1_p2-r2 DEPENDED ON BY: net-misc/openssh-3.5_p1-r1 DEPENDED ON BY: net-misc/openssh-3.6.1_p2-r3 DEPENDED ON BY: net-misc/openssh-3.6.1_p2 DEPENDED ON BY: --- Now after changing the make USE flags like I mentioned for exim and cups... Then 'emerge -C' of the packages complaining(plus kdeutils as I figured thats why kdelibs complained as there is something printer related in kdeutils). After that recompiling wine, transgaming, kdeutils, and xpdf(which grabs ghostscript). However as you can see that didn't help. So how do I get it to stop requesting cups, openssh, ans ssmtp? Is there a myconf somewhere? or is perhaps an issue up with virtuals or depends for some builds? Thanks oh and also I noticed the occasional build which is masked but only by keywords. That some refuse to build when unmasked unless you include the "ebuild" instead of the package name. Some still wont build. I tried to build sylpheed 0.9.5.-r1 but it wouldn't let me so I'm using 0.9.5...(only thing I notice is my gpg seems to be missing and my sig so I guess I'll have to figure out what happened to that in the version switch as I didn't alter anything) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
