10 [I] www-client/w3m
11 Available versions: 0.5.3_p20180125 (~)0.5.3_p20190105 {X fbcon gdk-pixbuf gpm imlib libressl lynxkeymap nls nntp ssl unicode xface L10N="de ja"}

17 Normally I do a cleanup after each upgrade/compilation/install like
18 so:
19
20
21 emerge --selective=n @preserved-rebuild && emerge --depclean -va && eclean-dist -C -d -v && eix-test-obsolete
22
23 which removes
24
25 virtual/w3m
26
27 then. Next upgrade, which looks liek:
28
29 eix-sync ; emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --tree --keep-going --backtrack=30 -v --verbose-conflicts -1 @world
30
31 it installs
32
33 virtual/w3m
34
35 again.
36
37 And so on.
38
39 How can I stop this?
40 Are the commands I use fishy?
41 What is the reason of this loop -- other parts of the system will not
42 be reinstalled over and over again.... ?
43
44 Cheers!
