1 In my digging for how Portage really works, I've come across yet another oddity.
2 In 'emerge -ep xfree', I get:
3
4 [ebuild N ] sys-devel/bc-1.06-r5
5
6 but 'qpkg -q -nc -I bc' shows:
7
8 sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420
9 DEPENDED ON BY:
10 elfutils-0.94-r1
11 prelink-20040317
12 sys-devel/bc-1.06-r5 <---------
13 DEPENDED ON BY: <---------
14 SYSTEM PROFILE <---------
15 dev-libs/libcroco-0.5.1
16 DEPENDED ON BY:
17 librsvg-2.6.4
18 dev-libs/libcdio-0.66
19 DEPENDED ON BY:
20 vcdimager-0.7.20
21
22 If bc is only in the system profile and not depended on by anything else, why is
23 it getting dragged in by xfree?
