Which is probably why the kde flag does NOT pull in all that stuff. You can't on the one hand tell portage to build the packages with support for some other packages, then on the other hand complain that they are dependencies. Note the KDE is not and never will be part of @system, by your own post that still contains 50 packages, it is your choices that have created the huge dependency list for @system. Save the output of emerge -epvt @system to a file, or print it out, then work through to see which choices you have made that created this list of dependencies. Or accept that they were going to be installed anyway, as part of @world if not @system, and do something useful with your life :) > If I disable > kde, qt and all the others then my GUI is going to be junk if it would > even work at all. Incorrect. You can install KDE without the kde USE flag, none of the packages in kde-meta respect the kde USE flag. -- Neil Bothwick Every time I jump on the bandwagon all its wheels fall off.
