I've checked those ebuilds with a tree synced this morning. They don't depend on the virtuals anymore. Maybe you need to do a revdep-rebuild.

On other systems, where I did erased virtual/postgresql-base, I get now also after resyncing and revdep-rebuild: root@lynx:/root(10)# emerge -pv --depclean =virtual/postgresql-server-8.4 =virtual/postgresql-base-8.4 Calculating dependencies... done! virtual/postgresql-base-8.4 pulled in by: app-mobilephone/gnokii-0.6.29 gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.4 gnome-extra/libgda-3.0.4 sci-libs/gdal-1.7.1-r1 sci-visualization/paraview-3.6.2 virtual/postgresql-server-8.4 pulled in by: app-mobilephone/gammu-1.27.91 >>> No packages selected for removal by depclean Packages installed: 3126 Packages in world: 751 Packages in system: 50 Required packages: 3126 Number to remove: 0
You're really running into an interesting situation. None of my machines suffered anything besides my optional 'emerge -C virtual/postgresql-{base,server}'. Try reemerging those packages individually: # emerge app-mobilephone/gnokii gnome-extra/libgda gnome-extra/libgda sci-libs/gdal sci-visualization/paraview app-mobilephone/gammu
Broken stable tree.
(In reply to comment #7) > Broken stable tree. > No. There are no ebuilds left that depend on the virtuals. As far as I can tell portage re-uses the dependencies of the _installed_ ebuilds instead of looking at the current ebuild in tree, thus ignoring the changes.
(In reply to comment #5) > virtual/postgresql-server-8.4 pulled in by: > app-mobilephone/gammu-1.27.91 There is no such version of gammu in Portage, you must be using some broken overlay... -> resolved, invalid
no such version of gnokii in portage, libgda likely from broken gnome-overlay... closing
After deleting the zugaina overlay and a private overlay for libgda and adjusting my private overlays for gdal and paraview 'emerge -v --depclean =virtual/postgresql-server-8.4 =virtual/postgresql-base-8.4' worked.
