I got around the problem by using : emerge --backtrack=30 -pvtD perl perl-Archive-Tar perl-Carp perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements perl-Data-Dumper perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder perl-ExtUtils-Install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker perl-ExtUtils-Manifest perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS perl-File-Spec perl-Getopt-Long perl-IO perl-Locale-Maketext perl-Perl-OSType perl-Scalar-List-Utils perl-Test-Harness perl-Text-ParseWords It wants to remerge Exiftool Imagemagick Cups-filters Graphite2 & also some further Perl pkgs & it wants to downgrade (G)Vim. That much wb ok, but it also wants to update Poppler & therefore LO & I don't feel like doing the last at the moment ( 65 min last time). What you suggested is fairly standard & I've done it in the past, but thanks for prompting me. Thanks to the other respondents too. Perl can stay where it is till LO 5.2 arrives in Portage : in fact, isn't it a bit slow appearing ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
