You have 15 packages that appear to be problematic, which leaves you |
19 |
with two realistic options: |
20 |
|
21 |
1. Spend ages tracing each dep down and seeing what gives, or |
22 |
2. Just run emerge --depclean followed by revdep-rebuild and emerge -uND |
23 |
world anyway. Sure, it will take some extra compile time, but it will |
24 |
also filter out the packages that you actually don't have to worry |
25 |
about. |
26 |
|
27 |
I'd recommend #2, which will hopefully leave us with a much smaller list |
28 |
of packages to investigate. |
