??? emerge -DuN application ??? What am I missing in the question? Test it on a clean app with no dependencies missing. It should emerge nothing. Then emerge -C one dependency and try it again. It should pick up that dependency but not emerge the app itself. You will not hurt your system doing that command. - Mark
