Yeah, I'll second this. At the very least make sure you "emerge -f" anything you unmerge. To make it easy to re-merge if you break wget.
I had one system that specified USE="kerberos" and krb5 kept wanting to pull back in com_err (I think). Also removing com_err seemed to break wget (and curl) on that system so I had to manually fetch some packages. -- // Andrew MacKenzie | http://www.edespot.com // GPG public key: http://www.edespot.com/~amackenz/public.key // October. // // This is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks in. // // The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, // December, August, and February. // // -- Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar"
