OK, I won't bother with the many definitions of the word manual or how that effects the conversation from my end 'cause that don't matter much to Linux man-page writers. ;-) However I'm still failing to see the interest in this as it only removes 1 or 4 packages (boost) that I've rebuilt multiple time. 75% of the failures still fail using -dmanual. c2stable ~ # python-updater -p -dmanual * Starting Python Updater... * Main active version of Python: 2.7 * Active version of Python 2: 2.7 * Active version of Python 3: 3.1 * Adding to list: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs:0 * Adding to list: app-emulation/virtualbox:0 * Adding to list: app-office/openoffice-bin:0 * Adding to list: app-office/openoffice-bin:0 * emerge -Dv1 --keep-going -p app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs:0 app-emulation/virtualbox:0 app-office/openoffice-bin:0 app-office/openoffice-bin:0 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I've done the python-updater steps too many times now and from now on will basically do it just once and after that take what it says with a grain of salt. Cheers, Mark
