    Hi,

    Please post the command your are using, and also the whole output from
    emerge. Adding the --tree option to the emerge command could also be
    useful.

    It's a real mess.
    Some day, it's ok, another day 160 sourced packages to compile and so on... So i give up and go back to my classical mixed sources/binary Gentoo packages.
    May be it could work with Gentoo installation from scratch... Don't know.

    [Apologies if this amounts to hijacking the thread...]

    The other day portage wanted to upgrade quite a number of packages: some from source and some from Gentoo binpkgs. Rather than laboriously picking out just the binpkgs by hand, I told portage to upgrade -K. It wanted to update 246 packages!

    It seems that, if a more recent package exists, it will be remerged willy- nilly, whether it's a real upgrade or not.

    I hope portage isn't meant to work this way...
