15 No I did not. mail-mta/ssmtp was part of stage3. And I did not
16 remove now any "thing" that pulled it in. All I did was
17 "emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse world".
18
19 As a result, python-exec, python-argparse and libxml2 were
20 reinstalled and automake-wrapper, gtk-doc-am, eselect and
21 linux-header updated. Nothing else.
22
23 After that I did "emerge --depclean" and the above mentioned
24 packages were suddenly removed...
