For the right answer, for your patience with a "newbie" to Gentoo and for always seeming to have the right answer to any post that you reply to. I learned something new today. I *did* try using equery to determine the dependencies of pine and uw-mailutils-2004g, but didn't get any dependencies listed. Anyway, next time, I won't have to bother the list with a like problem. :-) Take care, Colleen -- [email protected] mailing list
