>> Run python-updater. >> >> Cheers, Dave No wait - this worked. It was pulling in 2 Samba versions because Samba was due for an update from the most recent "emerge --sync". So I updated Samba separately first, via "emerge samba", and running python-updater after that did not pull in any Samba.
Mission accomplished: emerge -NDavu world works fine now! Many thanks, Denis
