Note that what you are trying will never work. You are asking the roof man to |
| 16 |
build the roof without bothering to build the walls first. So what holds the |

The only way this can work is if the dependant package(s) is|are already there |
| 20 |
but portage did not provide it|them. In which case, please save yourself a lot |
| 21 |
of trouble and install the relevant package manually into /usr/local/ or ~/ |
