While gentoo-sources isn't part of system virtual/linux-sources is a |
| 14 |
dependency of a quite a few packages in the tree (mostly kernel modules). And |
| 15 |
on all profiles in default-linux gentoo-sources is the default provider for |
| 16 |
that. The thing is that it is only a DEPEND and not an RDEPEND. So in |
| 17 |
addition to what others have told you you might want to take a look |
| 18 |
at --with-bdeps in `man emerge`. |
