I've tried that, and it takes forever. Everything time you do it, the next emerge attempt will fail because one of that package's dependencies doesn't have 3_9 set. So you set that one, do an emerge, and it fails because there's another depenency that doesn't have 3_9 set. Repeat this for an hour or two... If it would tell you about all of them at once, it wouldn't be so bad. But, if you're trying to hold back a large application with dozens and dozens of dependancies it makes you want to scream. Or doesn't it torture you like that any longer? -- Grant
