Why does portage insist on installing busybox for me? As far as I know the only use for it on a desktop system is for initramfs. I have no initramfs, therefore I have no need for busybox. I unmerged it and nothing bad happened except for a warning from portage that it is part of my profile set. I went ahead and ignored the warning.
But now I updated the tree and emerge -p shows it will be installed again. Why is that? The only reverse dependencies are virtuals which are satisfied in other ways, like virtual/awk. So is it the profile thing? But I have done the same with other profile packages (notably editors/nano) and those are _not_ coming back. -- Ian
