Oops, my bad. Thanks for picking that up > Oh, and the -N switch is good style, but > not really necessary, is it? Correct again in this specific case as it turns out - no USE flags got changed. I routinely just use -uND myself as I invariably want emerge to consider deep USE flag changes. I find that emerge can still do the extra processing in less time than it takes me to figure out if I need/want -N or not :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
