I'd want to look into why hplip needs PyQt, and why that needs qscintilla. I can't help you much, as this is a KDE box with all sorts of things present that you won't have - sorry. I see though that hplip wants to emerge with (-qt3%), which is a pretty hard exclusion, but only on hplip - not necessarily on things it depends on. > if I add -X to USE, the qt dependency goes away, but I try to avoid > package-specific use flags if I can help it. If you mean putting package-specific USE flags in /etc/make.conf, you can avoid it thus: If /etc/portage/package.use is a file, do this: 'echo "net-print/hplip -X" >> /etc/portage/package.use' If instead it's a directory, do this: 'echo "net-print/hplip -X" >> /etc/portage/package.use/net-print' On the other hand, if you don't like these flags at all, I can't help. -- Rgds Peter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
