Hello, I have been having some issues for a while with trying to run deep updates on one of my servers. My hope was that someone else had the problem, but I can't seem to find anything on bugzilla concerning this.
Basically this server is setup as clean as I can get it since it is acting as a gateway. I don't want a lot of packages installed, let alone xorg. Yet, when I run a deep update: # emerge -vuDp world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, Robert Larson -- [email protected] mailing list
