While gentoo-sources isn't part of system virtual/linux-sources is a dependency of a quite a few packages in the tree (mostly kernel modules). And on all profiles in default-linux gentoo-sources is the default provider for that. The thing is that it is only a DEPEND and not an RDEPEND. So in addition to what others have told you you might want to take a look at --with-bdeps in `man emerge`. -- Bo Andresen
