Hi, I have a system I installed before the transition from eudev to udev. Currently investigating some issue in recent kernels I found that I have virtual/udev installed, but non of eudev or udev packages are installed. If I do emerge -1 udev, the system will try to remove it on depclean: # emerge -s virtual/udev setlocale: unsupported locale setting setlocale: unsupported locale setting [ Results for search key : virtual/udev ] Searching... * virtual/udev Latest version available: 217-r5 Latest version installed: 217-r5 Size of files: 0 KiB Homepage: Description: Virtual to select between different udev daemon providers License: [ Applications found : 1 ] # emerge -p --depclean setlocale: unsupported locale setting setlocale: unsupported locale setting * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious * mistakes.
