For some reason, emerge -auD world produces this:
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] mail-client/mailx-support-20030215
[ebuild N ] net-libs/liblockfile-1.06
[ebuild N ] mail-client/mailx-8.1.2.20040524-r1
Why do I want these -new- packages? So I do an equery depends on each of
them and there is no dependency. e.g.
you k # equery depends mail-client/mailx
[ Searching for packages depending on mail-client/mailx... ]
you k # equery depends mailx
[ Searching for packages depending on mailx... ]
revdep-rebuild is happy - no problems.
So finally I went ahead and installed them, and emerge -auD world was
happy. I ran another depends; and still no indication why they were there.
I uninstalled them, and now emerge wants to reinstall.
Any ideas? TIA
p.s.
you k # emerge --info
