Pulling bridge-utils pulls sysfsutils,ncurses,readline,sysvinit,coreutils,bash,baselayout. solar helped me fix this by suggesting 14:25 <@solar> RDEPEND="" 14:25 <@solar> DEPEND="${RDEPEND} virtual/os-headers" in both ebuilds. Which appears to work for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. chroot into gentoo-embedded development fs 1. mkdir /tmp/junk 2. ROOT=/tmp/junk emerge -pv bridge-utils wireless-tools Actual Results: Long list of packagenames I don't want in my custom root fs appears on screen Expected Results: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

wireless-tools updated. Waiting a day or so for feedback from robbat2 on bug #69292 before fixing it.
uhh, the baselayout DEPEND was in there for a valid reason ... wireless-tools + older baselayouts wont work properly this is a transient thing ... once baselayout has been in stable for a while we can take the DEPEND back out
wireless-tools itself does not need to depend on any version of baselayout to function. They are low level system tools. Simply because 1 virtual/baselayout happens to have support for iwconfig/iwpriv/etc does not directly make wireless-tools directly depend on a baselayout to function.
Solar: In the future, do not touch any ebuilds maintained by me without contacting me first. That DEPEND was put in there for a reason.
Sorry brix I generally only have to touch things when they are broken. The best way to ensure that I wont have to touch a package you maintain is to ensure you don't cause breakage in other things. In the past you and the formation of the wifi herd have always indicated that I was pretty free to commit on those pkgs. I even added myself to the metadata.xml to make it clear my role in that pkg. In both of the cases reported here the DEPENDS are/were clearly wrong as outlined in comment #4. The core package has not changed functionality so it's a Q/A fix for a silly oversight.
While the DEPEND on baselayout is temporary to avoid confusion amongst our users and will be removed at a later point, I have added a proper fix for this issue: !elibc_uclibc? ( >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13 ) The bridge-utils issue is handled in bug #69292.
