For a while now whenever I emerge at all the output seems way too...much. Here is an example: emerge -upd world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies \ Parent: ebuild / x11-wm/openbox-2.3.1 merge Depstring: dev-util/pkgconfig =sys-apps/sed-4* !bootstrap?

What did you expect? From the emerge man page: --debug (-d short option) Tell emerge to run the ebuild command in --debug mode. In this mode, the bash build environment will run with the -x option, causing it to output verbose debug information print to stdout. --debug is great for finding bash syntax errors as providing very verbose information about the dependency and build process. try running it without the -d.
Oh, I am really sorry, I thought -d was deep. Thanks.
