the idea was for world to contain all the packages the user wanted ... dependencies only *happened* to be installed too, the user might not have wanted them ;) as for openssl, its part of 'system' if your USE variable has SSL in it openssl was just an example, it could be any other package. I mean, the idea is to have a package installed which is not in world favourites and which has security problems. i know i was just messing with you ;) as for your bug, i think i heard that drobbins was workin on a solution for this ... in the meantime, what i do is `emerge world -ep`, and then take each package displayed and do `emerge -u <pkg>` ... kind of nasty hack but whatever ;) This can be fixed some other way. We can already cause emerge to update dependencies too, but it's turned off until we resolve slot issues during -u |
