So you lied to portage and now it's acting on the incorrect information you have given it :) > So, in the end, can't I use depclean without adding these packages to > world file? Add them to world. As long as you don't do an automatic emerge -uD world you shouldn't have a problem. When updates come out, yopu'll see them in the output of emerge -pvD world (which you won't with your current setup) then you can merge them manually in the correct order before letting portage handle the rest of world. > > Do you have the wind32codecs USE flag set?

That's a possible explanation. the easy way to find out is to run quickpkg win32codecs emerge -C win32codecs emerge world -uavDk If it really is needed, the last command will re-emerge it. I take it you have run "emerge -uavD --newuse world" before depclean? -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 22: Childproof
