You can add the "-t" option to emerge to get a tree of what depends on |
| 9 |
what. Its not perfect, but it works for most cases. The reason it |
| 10 |
requires new packages is that you may have altered your USE flags, which |
| 11 |
now alter what should be built. Most of these packages will continue to |
| 12 |
work fine w/o being rebuilt, but to use the options you have specified, |
| 13 |
should be. (AKA: nautilus using HAL). |

add "-D" to your emerge list and it should catch most everything, except |
| 23 |
maybe orphaned dependencies (which, admitantly, portage *does* have a |
| 24 |
problem with these). |
