I guess that depends on how much disk space you have. I have something like ten kernel sources installed at that time. It's a generally a good idea to keep at least one older bootable kernel (and the corresponding sources then). I generally keep older bootable kerenels and config files, but I see no need to keep sources for them. Anyway, check this fisrt : - which version of the kernel are you running (it should change nothing at all, but) ? 2.6.25-r7 - where is the '/usr/src/linux' link pointing ? 2.6.25-r7 -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

Weird. If all else fails, mask it (with =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r6 in package.mask) and see what happens. Filing a bug report might be a good idea.

Except that « those requirements » are requirements for the installed packages. If you can, let emerge install the older version and re-run equery depends gentoo-sources.
