Hi,
I'm facing a few last problems as I clean this machine up. The
machine is completely sync'ed and emerged. revdep-rebuild tells me
things are cool but then --depclean complains about needing
virtual/glibc and using emerge depends suggests it really is needed
but eix glibc doesn't show anything to emerge.
Frankly I'm pretty confused about this one. What's the appropriate fix?
Thanks,
Mark

Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
the following required packages not being installed:
=sys-apps/i2c-2.8.7 required by sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.8.7
virtual/glibc required by sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r2 media-libs/xvid-0.9.1
Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --newuse --deep world` prior to
depclean? It may also be necessary to manually uninstalled packages that no
longer exist in the portage tree since it may not be possible to satisfy their
dependencies.
