kde-i18n is not in your world and is not a direct dependency of anything in world, and nothing in your world specifically requires kde-i18n-3.5.9. emerge -avuND world updates world and it's deep dependencies, not everything on the entire system regardless. You want to put kde-i18n in world (emerge -n) to get what you want. That does give you a cluttered world file, but them's the breaks The other option is to use the kde*meta ebuilds, which do directly depend on the sub-ordinate packages. This is what I do and I don't get the effect you observed. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
