OK, I changed this in make.conf and it gives me a whole bunch of packages to rebuild. That's OK. BUT, It still wants to add back: N ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 N ] virtual/x11-6.8 Both of which are unacceptable. The world file only contains these packages now: sys-fs/devfsd app-portage/esearch sys-apps/iproute2 app-portage/eix sys-libs/glibc media-video/mpeg-tools sys-kernel/linux-headers net-analyzer/bwmon sys-fs/udev app-editors/vim sys-process/vixie-cron sys-boot/grub sys-apps/pciutils sys-apps/slocate dev-util/cvs sys-apps/lm_sensors sys-apps/discover sys-apps/lshw sys-apps/coldplug app-admin/syslog-ng app-editors/nano sys-power/acpid sys-kernel/gentoo-sources app-portage/genlop sys-apps/ethtool net-firewall/iptables app-portage/gentoolkit sys-kernel/hardened-sources > try to run emerge with "-p --pretend" option, which should give you the > reason, why xorg would be emerged Um I'm not sure you are correct here: emerge -pv x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 does not show me what's calling for it to be installed. So I tried: emerge --tree --verbose --update --deep world which shows: curl, mpeg-tools and discover as the culprits! I unmerged them and all x, nor xorg are trying to reinstall. Thanks so much!
