..*at the moment*. In this case pyopenssl is required for ssl-fetch, |
| 10 |
which - at least here - is used by e.g. layman. One or more new packages |
| 11 |
can also come in as part of an update, e.g. when that package gains new |
| 12 |
capabilities. I suspect in your case that's mirrorselect. |

Unless you start emerging random packages by yourself (thereby adding |
| 15 |
them to @world) portage usually does the right thing. |
