I'm not being funny, the 2 most obvious places to go look return the correct answer at the top of the list. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Come back when your vendor has grown a clue. What is bc? It's calculator application and it's listed as a dependency in the xscreensaver ebuild in the official Portage tree: ssuominen@null ~/gentoo-x86/x11-misc/xscreensaver $ grep sys-devel/bc *.ebuild xscreensaver-5.29.ebuild:sys-devel/bc xscreensaver-5.30.ebuild:sys-devel/bc So no way to emerge xscreensaver without having sys-devel/bc getting installed first.

(Sended from phone) Since bc is a dependency, the ebuild would pull it in and install it as part of installing xscreensaver - as Samuli has already pointed out. Therefore there is no need to manually emerge bc. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
