FWIW, while it may be deep in the @system dependency tree, I don't have |
| 8 |
libnsl installed here, so if it's not in @system directly, it's |
| 9 |
apparently pulled into @system by USE deps of some sort, via USE flags |
| 10 |
that aren't required to be on, in at least some reasonably general |
| 11 |
purpose plasma desktop configurations. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
(I run with no @system, having long ago negated the entire thing, at the |
| 14 |
time via individual -pkg entries in /etc/portage/profile/packages, now |
| 15 |
via a single -* entry, from the inherited profile and listed deps I |
| 16 |
actually needed in sets pulled in by world_sets. And my global USE |
| 17 |
starts with -*, adding only the flags I actually want/need, so whatever |
| 18 |
USE is pulling it in obviously isn't something I wanted or found I needed |
| 19 |
due to required-deps or something, here.) |
