10 I thought it was pretty obvious, but to summarize:
11
12 emerge -av sys-apps/baselayout
13
14 Is just that. The baselayout.
15
16 But when I do
17
18 emerge -Dav sys-apps/baselayout
19
20 It pulls in baselayout, python, perl, openssl (clearly the last two are not
21 needed or related to baselayout)
22
23 Which just so happens to be the exact same thing if I do
24
25 emerge -Davu sys-apps/baselayout
26
27 On my older Gentoo server, typing either of the first two work exactly as
28 expected and only pull in the single package.
29
30 So in summary, -D is acting like an implied -u (or something to that
31 effect).
32
33 'baselayout' is only one example.
34 Here's another one, but the list goes on and on.
35 Openssl should not require Perl in this case.
