[gentoo-user] What wants to pull in busybox?
Earlier today, I did an emerge --sync and proceeded to update world, including portage (now 2.0.53). I have an amd64 system running mostly stable, with a bunch of ~amd64 packages listed in my package.keywords and a small portage tree overlay that is not of relevance here. Now. For some reason, even after updating everything else, emerge -auDv world still wants to pull in sys-apps/busybox-1.00-r4. I have had sys-apps/busybox in my package.mask file ever since it getting pulled in as a dependency to something severely crippled my system, and I do not want to have to go through that again. Running emerge -auDvet world indicates that nothing depends on busybox, nor does it depend on anything else. It is not in my /var/lib/portage/world. So why does portage want to install it, and how do I get portage to *not* install it without that giving me the all ebuilds that could satisfy 'sys-apps/busybox' have been masked whenever I want to do *any* update? If it helps, along with the above error message I also get: !!! Problem resolving dependencies for sys-apps/busybox !!!

I looked at the man page for emerge but didn't see anything. -- Michael Kjörling, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://michael.kjorling.com/ * ASCII Ribbon Campaign: Against HTML Mail, Proprietary Attachments * * .
