Ahhh! Abort - Abort! It tries to load Gnome packages ... Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-common-3.1.0 148 kB [ebuild N ] dev-lang/vala-0.12.1 USE="vapigen -test" 2,233 kB [ebuild N ] dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.32.4 PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_2 -python2_5 -python2_6 -python3_1" 0 kB [ebuild N ] sys-apps/accountsservice-0.6.22 USE="introspection -doc - vala" 324 kB [ebuild N ] x11-misc/lightdm-1.0.11 USE="introspection qt4 -branding - gtk -test" 636 kB [snip ...] I thought it was USE=branding in lightdm that did it, but I disabled branding for lightdm, so I don't know what's pulling these in. It seems that I'll need to try it with kdm instead. -- Regards, Mick
