I ran across this new virtual/udev problem today, also. Issuing "eix virtual/udev" told me it's a "Virtual to select between sys-fs/udev and sys-fs/eudev". Since it's not my intention atm to upgrade udev to >= 181, or install eudev, I added ">=virtual/udev-181" and now my working Gentoo system no longer wants to upgrade udev. -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ [email protected] 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
