46 Since I upgraded all the packages individually, only alsa-utils remains
47 for upgrade/downgrade. However, I did try 'emerge --pretend --update
48 --deep --tree alsa-utils' and it didn't return any dependencies. The
49 list as given above was the complete list, so I'm not sure what was
50 meant by "check the one above alsa-utils'.
