Subject: [gentoo-user] Why emerge -uD forces mailx!? (long)

1 For some reason, emerge -auD world produces this:
2
3 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
4
5 Calculating world dependencies... done!
6 [ebuild N ] mail-client/mailx-support-20030215
7 [ebuild N ] net-libs/liblockfile-1.06
8 [ebuild N ] mail-client/mailx-8.1.2.20040524-r1
9
10 Why do I want these -new- packages? So I do an equery depends on each of
11 them and there is no dependency. e.g.
12
13 you k # equery depends mail-client/mailx
14 [ Searching for packages depending on mail-client/mailx... ]
15 you k # equery depends mailx
16 [ Searching for packages depending on mailx... ]
17
18 revdep-rebuild is happy - no problems.
19
20 So finally I went ahead and installed them, and emerge -auD world was
21 happy. I ran another depends; and still no indication why they were there.
22
23 I uninstalled them, and now emerge wants to reinstall.
24
25 Any ideas? TIA
