It is not --oneshot causing this. This option is necessary to prevent the package being added to your world file. Look at the differences between emerge -1tvD ">=dev-lang/python-2.3.5-r2" and emerge -1tvD python It is possible that one command is trying to install Python 2.3 whereas the second would install Python 2.4, which may have different dependencies or USE flags. PS my tagline is allegedly picked at random, but "man emerge" would help clear up some of the confusion. -- Neil Bothwick Read the docs? What a RADICAL concept!
