On older PCs I would rather did not have to install abi_x86_32 for packages that I don't need to. The granular approach suits me better and also aligns better with the light-footed Gentoo approach. I think had you followed my suggestion you could have found that by remerging half a dozen packages at most, your conflict would have been resolved. Either way you got a result, so whatever works. :-) -- Regards, Mick
