I emerged gamin 0.16, unmerged fam and removed old fam files (/etc/init.d/fam, etc). Trying to update my system (emerge -uDt world) I got this: [blocks B ] app-admin/gamin (from pkg app-admin/fam-2.7.0-r2) the interesting lines being: [nomerge ] dev-perl/DBD-mysql-2.1027 [nomerge ] dev-perl/DBI-1.38 [nomerge ] dev-perl/PlRPC-0.2016-r1 [nomerge ] dev-perl/Net-Daemon-0.37 [ebuild N ] app-admin/fam-2.7.0-r2 As (I have been told) gamin is a drop-in replacement for fam, Net-Daemon should not directly depend on fam (I think...)
