Hi Mark, OK, so I read this thread and you and Bo both seem to have gotten way off track... You have a bunch of packages that --depclean wants to remove. It looks like they should not be removed. This screams two questions at me: 1. Did you emerge -avC gnome? 2. If you never had gnome installed but did have evo installed, then removed evo, everything looks proper. So, let --depclean do it's thing. Then emerge -uND world and run revder-rebuild to fix anything that remains alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
