Hi, |

I run --depclean on occasion just to clean out some old cruft. I got |
| 4 |
this output a bit ago and it is well . . . confusing me. Here it is: |

root@smoker / # emerge -p --depclean |

What looks weird you ask, why is it listing them that way? They are |
| 59 |
separately listed and I don't recall ever seeing it listed that way |
| 60 |
before. They are usually in one section. |
| 61 |

Another odd thing is this: |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
root@smoker / # uname -r |
| 65 |
2.6.23-gentoo-r8 |
| 66 |
root@smoker / # ls -al /usr/src/ |

It wants to remove the currently running kernel as well. Seems it used |
| 78 |
to leave that one in the past. I may be wrong tho. |

Thoughts? |
