This is what I have found since the last message:


root@fireball / # equery d sys-fs/static-dev
 * These packages depend on sys-fs/static-dev:
virtual/dev-manager-0 (sys-fs/static-dev)
root@fireball / #  


And this depends on that:


root@fireball / # equery d virtual/dev-manager
 * These packages depend on virtual/dev-manager:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.11.6 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.13.6 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.14.0 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.16.0 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.16.3 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.18.5 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.18.7 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.18.9 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.18.12 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.18.14 (virtual/dev-manager)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.19.7 (virtual/dev-manager)
root@fireball / #
 

And I have to have a kernel.  So, I thought to check the world file. 
I'm sure eudev is in there but I also found out that virtual/udev is in
there.  I don't recall putting that there but I must have and I bet
there was a reason for it, at that time.  I have this set to NOT add to
world file unless I use the --select y option.  So, it was intentionally
put there.  I commented it out and tried again, still fails and updates
nothing else. 

I don't know if it is related or not but I'm also having trouble
building media-video/mkvtoolnix-7.3.0 as well.  Since it is a video
package, I doubt it is related.  Just thought it worth a mention.

Just for giggles.  Info from world file:


root@fireball / # cat /var/lib/portage/world | grep dev
dev-lang/python:3.4
dev-util/strace
media-video/devede
sys-fs/eudev
#virtual/udev
root@fireball / # 


Info from emerge:


root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDNt world

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
 

I think this is what triggered this whole mess:

root@fireball / # equery list -p static-dev
 * Searching for static-dev ...
[-P-] [  ] sys-fs/static-dev-0.1:0
root@fireball / #

It seems that there was a update and the old package was removed. 
According to the -t output above, nothing is pulling it in.  It just has
to update because it is the only one left in the tree. 

Oh, gentoo-sources:

root@fireball / # emerge -vp gentoo-sources

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

As you say, this makes no sense.  It's like running in circles or
something.  Mostly or something. 

If you need more info, let me know.  I'm pretty much clueless here. 

Thanks.
