After a recent emerge sync, "emerge system" wants to install sys-apps/busybox. I am not using any sort of embedded profile; make.profile is linked to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/ppc/2005.0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -p system 2. 3. Actual Results: Portage wants to install busybox. Using the --tree flag shows that busybox is a "top level" dependency, i.e. not as a result of some other system package wanting it due to odd USE flags. Expected Results: There is no reason to install busybox, as it is a minimalist replacement for core utilities that are covered by more robust packages. emerge info pasted: Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/ppc/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 ppc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 ppc 7455, altivec supported Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, May 5 2005, 00:18:29)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.6.3, 1.4_p6, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.90.0.3-r5 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=7400 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=7400 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc X aac aalib alsa altivec apache2 arts atlas audiofile berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdparanoia cdr cjk crypt cups curl doc dv dvd dvdr dvdread emacs encode fam flac foomaticdb fortran gcj gdbm gif gmp gtk gtk2 imagemagick imap java javascript jpeg kde kdexdeltas libcaca libg++ libwww maildir motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline samba sdl sndfile spell ssl symlink sysfs sysvipc tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis xine xml xml2 xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
