Hello, An update has come for GCC 4.5 but I don't want to start using it until I test it well in a non productive system. So I still have selected GCC 4.4 as the default. After doing a world update (after the USE flags for perl and python were removed as default), I wanted to do a depclean, and here's what it listed: >> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

(In reply to comment #1) > echo =sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5* >> /var/lib/portage/world Oh, there's a problem with that one, of course, but you get my meaning: echo sys-devel/gcc:4.4 >> /var/lib/portage/world
