I think I have a couple of more like that as well.
Do you mean that you don't have these packages installed, or that they are not even in portage? For the second case, re-sync. For the first case, you need to find out what is pulling those packages in, and make the necessary changes. This may help, you can also rerun your emerge world with the "--tree" option to see what is going on: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ equery depends -a gnome-applets [ Searching for packages depending on gnome-applets... ] gnome-base/gnome-2.20.3 (>=gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.20.1) gnome-base/gnome-2.22.0 (>=gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.22.0) gnome-base/gnome-2.22.1 (>=gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.22.1) gnome-extra/shermans-aquarium-2.2.0 (>=gnome-base/gnome-applets-2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ equery depends -a libgweather [ Searching for packages depending on libgweather... ] gnome-base/gnome-2.22.0 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.22.0) gnome-base/gnome-2.22.1 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.22.1.1) gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.22.0 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.21.1) gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.22.1 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.22.1) gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.22.0 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.21.2) gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.22.1.1 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.22.1) gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.22.1.2 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.22.1) gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.22.1.3 (>=dev-libs/libgweather-2.22.1) Are you sure you didn't emerge gnome? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
