21 OK, I changed this in make.conf and it gives me a whole bunch
22 of packages to rebuild. That's OK. BUT, It still wants to add back:
23 N ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6
24 N ] virtual/x11-6.8
25 Both of which are unacceptable.
26
27 The world file only contains these packages now:
28 sys-fs/devfsd
29 app-portage/esearch
30 sys-apps/iproute2
31 app-portage/eix
32 sys-libs/glibc
33 media-video/mpeg-tools
34 sys-kernel/linux-headers
35 net-analyzer/bwmon
36 sys-fs/udev
37 app-editors/vim
38 sys-process/vixie-cron
39 sys-boot/grub
40 sys-apps/pciutils
41 sys-apps/slocate
42 dev-util/cvs
43 sys-apps/lm_sensors
44 sys-apps/discover
45 sys-apps/lshw
46 sys-apps/coldplug
47 app-admin/syslog-ng
48 app-editors/nano
49 sys-power/acpid
50 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
51 app-portage/genlop
52 sys-apps/ethtool
53 net-firewall/iptables
54 app-portage/gentoolkit
55 sys-kernel/hardened-sources

60 Um I'm not sure you are correct here:
61
62 emerge -pv x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6
63 does not show me what's calling for it to be installed.
64
65 So I tried:
66 emerge --tree --verbose --update --deep world
67 which shows:
68 curl, mpeg-tools and discover as the culprits!
69 I unmerged them and all x, nor xorg are trying to reinstall.

71 Thanks so much!
