I'm not one of them and won't try to answer directly. However, to fix the dependency... Use /etc/portage/profiles/package.provided. See the portage manpage for details. I have a number of "unnecessary dependencies" listed there, and a few virtuals faked in a virtuals file in the same dir, as well. If you don't like Gentoo's dependencies, they /do/ give you a way to change them yourself without a whole lot of trouble. =8^) BTW, if you aren't yet aware of it, there's the Gentoo-embedded list. Next time I'd suggest trying there, first. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
