You are doing everything imaginable except what you should do - run with --tree Every time you ask "why is portage pulling this in?" then run the exact same emerge with --tree. emerge -pv --tree eudev WILL NOT show you what you want as eudev is not pulling in udev and causing blockers. Something else is so you need to look at world Please post the output of emerge -pvuNDt world AND NOTHING ELSE -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
