Yeah, you're wrong. David already explained the correct way out of this. You need to learn to read portage output. The bits you quoted, and it's quite common to see that section quoted here asking the kind of question you asked, do NOT explain what the problem is. That section is mere info, portage is giving you the long version of why it wants to pull in any and all packages referenced in the problem area. The real error is elsewhere in the output, you now have to go and read it and understand it. Portage's output sucks, this is very well known. It is either way too verbose in junk you don't care about, or very terse in things you do. But it's what we've got until someone submits a good patch and if you want to run gentoo using portage, then you need to learn to decipher it's output. Them's the breaks I'm afraid. I recommend you take the entire output of which you quoted a part and go through it line by line, figuring out why it's there and what it is telling you. You only have to do this once to get a good handle on it, and you will be very glad you did in the future :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
