Well that explains it. I have --oneshot in make.conf to keep my world file clean. When I read your post, I looked and repoman was in the world file. I have no clue why I put it in there. I don't even know when I put it there. So, I unmerged it and made sure it is removed from the world file. I don't know if I even need pkgdev so I'm running emerge -auDN world to see if anything depends on it. Waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting. It says nothing needs it, I have no idea why I need it either so, I have a nice clean output from emerge again. Thanks much for the help. Never occurred to me that it was in the world file and is dead. :/ I figured I did it. ROFL Dale :-) :-)
