That was enough! Thanks!!! It turns out that the "pesky packages" |
| 23 |
were dependencies of other things that I didn't need or use. (Which |
| 24 |
is what I had hoped.) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I unemerged the "root" packages, and everything is good. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
One thing to note for anyone that might have the same question/problem |
| 29 |
in the future: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The "--tree" option appears to only show the closest dependency. |
| 32 |
Which means that if there are several packages (as in my case) that |
| 33 |
depend on the one you don't want to install, you'll have to re-run |
| 34 |
emerge with the "--tree" option, and subsequently de-install the |
| 35 |
packages you don't want, until the package doesn't show up. |
| 36 |

Thanks again, Khattri. |
