Hi, I'm sorry. This is probably a really simple question. I have a new install of Gentoo. emerge -uDpv --newuse @system results in a new slot for gcc, *downgrading* the current version (from 5.4.0 to 4.9.4) No other package is selected for merging.
Why??? What command line can I give to show why a new slot is being pulled in? (I wouldn't particularly mind, but as I am on an old x86 celeron, this will take hours to complete, for no obvious benefit...) Thanks Phil
