They were removed several weeks ago. When did you last sync? If recently, when did you last --depclean? > dev-python/setuptools[python_targets_python2_7(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-)] > required by (dev-python/ipaddress-1.0.23:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="" > ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" > > dev-python/setuptools[python_targets_python2_7(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-)] > required by (dev-python/futures-3.1.1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="-doc" > ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" Regards, Arve
