Hello Helmut, |
2 |
|
3 |
maybe that www-client/epiphany is a dependency after a package update (e.g. |
4 |
version 1.0 of package X requires package y, but version 0.9 of X does |
5 |
not). Another reason can be the USE-flags. May when you have been building |
6 |
a packge you temporarily disabled an USE-flag (USE="-flag-to-disable" |
7 |
emerge x), which is in your make.conf and activates an optional dependency |
8 |
(in this www-client/epiphany, epiphany requires a newer version of |
9 |
www-client/firefox and so on). |
10 |
Hopefully this helped you a bit. |
11 |
|
12 |
With best regards, |
13 |
Sebastian |
