Today when I ran "emerge -au world" I was surprised to see Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.17-r2 [2.6.17-r1]
because I'm presently running a 2.6.19-gentoo-r2 kernel (built from gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r1 using genkernel). When I run "emerge -C linux-headers" it warns me that !!! 'sys-kernel/linux-headers' is part of your system profile. !!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system. Common sense tells me that anything 2.6.19 renders all things obsolete that relate to 2.6.17. Am I right? Also, where is it recorded that linux-headers 2.6.17-r2 is important? I suspect I ought to delete that info as well. Thanks. David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
