1 Hi,
2 would anybody please be so kind to explain to me the rational used by
3 portage to re-emerge
4 some packages.
5
6 I've installed portage 2.2.7 and when I try to emerge, say,
7 app-shells/zsh-completions
8 it re-emerges (emerge -vp shows 'rR') several packages including,
9 i.e., app-office/libreoffice
10
11 I can't imaging libreoffice depends in any way on zsh-completions.
12
13 So, what's going on?
14
15 (and rebuilding libreoffice isn't just fun)
16
17 Many thanks,
18 Helmut.
