I here what your saying. But as you'll notice, allot of times its a mystery as to why things need to be re-merged. Maybe your response will provoke a lurking Gentoo Guru to respond with something meaningful or enlightened info for us all. Heh..Heh.. :P The reason I only posted part of the story is because, thats the only part of the story that I know of. WHY.... this happens is a mystery.. > There are so many posting threads that read: > > Q. What do I do for <pick in a problem> > A. You need to emerge <pick in a package> again > Q.

Is there a common problem here and thus a > common solution? What is the rest of the story? I do find that when I upgrade my kernel I have to re-merge "xfree-drm" for some unknown reason. I'm about to upgrade to 2.4.20r8 and I'm sure something will need to be re-merged. > > I can understand when the USE variables must be changed, but why are > there so many recommendations to re-emerge without any obvious > changes? The funny thing is that I don't mess with any of my use variables. So who knows. I would like to know the same things that your inquiring about. Please open a thread and ask. Heh... Heh.. :D Thanks, JBanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
