Hi. Sorry for my post in the other thread... didn't see this one...
I have exactly the same problem as Andrei, so I will kick in here :)

Sooo, nessus-core is it. Let's have a look at the ebuild:

DEPEND="=net-analyzer/libnasl-${PV}
        tcpd? ( sys-apps/tcp-wrappers )
        X? ( x11-base/xfree )
        gtk? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* )
        gtk2? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2* )
        prelude? ( dev-libs/libprelude )"

And I have "-X" in USE. I don't get it at all.

Hm. xfree wasn't installed yet. I never needed it on that box. It's an
Pentium-MMX 233Mhz, so compiling X will take virtually forever - not even
thinking about updates... I don't see _any_ reason to emerge xfree. :)
The thing I really don't get is that no new packages are installed,
depending on xfree. The first package in emerge -uDp world is
"opengl-update-1.5", so I think that that is the dependency causing all that
trouble...

earthdawn portage # qpkg -q opengl-update-1.5
x11-base/opengl-update-1.5

Nothing. Not depended on by anything. Anybody any more ideas ? :S

Greetings, Dennis
