On one of two gentoo (x86_64 AMD Opteron) systems I just emerged the new portage-2.1 on, emerge is requiring gentoo-sources as a dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7". Why? |

|

The 2nd system with an identical 2.6.16.20 vanilla-sources kernel does not have this problem. |

|

I tried removing the /usr/portage/x11-base directory and then running "emerge --sync". Which works buth then: |

# emerge -pv -u --deep world |

These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |

========= |

|
| 47 |
Yes, I do use /etc/portage/package.mask to mask out gentoo-sources, but I have done that for years. (Also, my 2nd system has the same package.mask and doesn't have a problem with xorg-x11.) |

Any suggestions on how to fix this dependencies issue? I suspect a portage cache issue that 'emerge --sync' is not fixing. |
