It means, openssh is part of 'system', a list of packages that are |
| 19 |
deemed essential for the operation of your box by the gentoo-devs. |
| 20 |
And usually it is a bad idea to unmerge anything in it, since it could |
| 21 |
lead to serious breakage. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Also, I am under the impression (correct me if I am wrong) that world |
| 24 |
is a superset of system? So even if you do unmerge openssh, the fact |
| 25 |
that it is in system will bring it back in when you issue 'emerge -uD |
| 26 |
world' |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If you just don't want to deal with openssh right now, you can issue: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
emerge --update --deep world; emerge --resume --skipfirst; |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If everything else compiles fine, the first 'emerge' will stop when it |
| 33 |
hits openssh which refuses to compile, and the second one will tell it |
| 34 |
to continue after skipping openssh. |
