note that cnet does not work with elfutils. see (closed) bug 67375.
How to unmerge libelf or elflibs without screwing awk. I screwed awk, as I uninstalled libelf last time, an depscan.sh didn't work anymore. Well, I copied my system on an dual Opteron, did a chroot, and an emerge -eD gawk fixed the issue. Johnny
file a bug against specific packages FYI libelf is the old deprecated package
