Doesn't mean it is so now.
Well I should have qualified it by saying that I don't clean out packages; when I install something it is because I want to try it out and/or use it. When I stop using the package, it still stays installed. So the dependency should still exist and be valid. > > Eix and emerge both knew it was installed and that it needed to be > > updated at the point when I was going to emerge eclipse. > > > > So I don't think that answer covers it... > > Is the eix database upto date?

Eix is updated every night after the emerge --sync completes. You'll have to go back to the original post but eix (as well as emerge --search but I didn't include that output) shows that ant-core is installed. The emerge --pretend did report that mozilla and eclipse were new, but ant-core was an update. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
