17 Ahh, I see now what's going on. The problem is that if I do a "-uD"
18 now, and get just the updates, it just "kicks the 290 further down the
19 road" until I next do an "-NuD", which if memory serves has always been
20 the recommended way of updating - according to the gentoo wiki/doco. I
21 might as well get it over and done with now...

23 Yes, just tested. "-uD" -> just updates. "-NuD" -> updates + 290 odd
24 rebuilds.

26 It's 02:30 Saturday morning in Perth Australia So I'll just kill it for
27 now and kick it off tomorrow sometime.
