Description delete this account 2003-12-14 08:46:22 UTC 
I have glib-2.2.3 installed and some programs compiled to it. Portage still wants to install glib-1.2 even though there are no dependencies on it:

root@kuu:~# emerge -pD world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5

root@kuu:~# qpkg -q glib-1.2.10-r5
dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5
DEPENDED ON BY:
root@kuu:~#

Problem solved, sort of. Qpkg neglected to tell me that pam was depending on glib-1.2*.
