Using portage 2.0.13 which fixes the other probs I was having. Thanks for the quick work. I use emerge -b on a master machine and then export /usr/portage. On slave machines I use emerge -k. This keeps all my boxes consistent and saves lots of compiling time. I have checked this bug also shows just on the master machine so it's nothing to do with the remote filesystem. # emerge -p xine-ui These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] media-libs/xine-lib-0.9.12 to / [ebuild N ] media-video/xine-ui-0.9.12 to / # emerge -k xine-ui only installs xine-ui. [Afterthought] -pk and -pok are consistent with this. # emerge -b xine-ui installs both xine-lib and xine-ui # emerge xine-ui builds and installs both xine-lib and xine-ui -k used to work but I didn't note the version of portage I had before 2.0.11 when I first saw this. Is the -b action correct? I expected it to build as well as install. TIA, George.

These issues should all be addressed in Portage 2.0.22... try it when released and see. If you still have problems, file a new bug report with more detailed info and I"ll look into it.
