Portage is developing quite fast at the moment so it is quite possible that you have discovered some change in behaviour (either due to a bug or due to permanent changes) but I don't see anything wrong in this mail... What makes you think it pulls in more stuff than it should? BTW you should upgrade to 2.1.2_pre1-r4 (or downgrade to latest stable). If I am missing something specific feel free to elaborate. -- Bo Andresen
