The packages listed belong to the PKGS_MANUAL set defined the python-updater. The comment there says: "packages that should be re-emerged even if they don't fit the criteria (eg. ones that have pythong compiled statically)" So that is the designed behaviour. I would prefer it like this rather than having packages that need re-emerging omitted. That said, you can pass the flag -dmanual to disable re-emerging those packages. (You can even fine tune which sets you want to re-emerge.) Read the python-updater man page for details. HTH, W -- A backwards poet writes inverse. Sortir en Pantoufles: up 648 days, 14:57
