Howdy, I'm trying to do my weekly update. I use eudev but something seems to want plain udev and to remove eudev while at it. I have udev masked so emerge knows not to install it. This is what emerge spits out with the -t option in use. Keep in mind, some options are in make.conf but the output should show the needed results.
root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world -t These are the packages that would be merged: Calculating dependencies... done!
