 Emerge-Question Hello, I removed via emerge --unmerge several packages that are of no need for me (e.g. kernel-headers 2.4.21 and gaming kernel 2.4.22), since I am using kernel 2.4.24 build from the 2.4.24 vanilla sources. Why the heck does emerge want to reinstall these packages everytime I am doing an emerge --update world? My system initially came with these kernels, but meanwhile, I removed the kernels. How can I prevent this? How do I tell portage not to reinstall these packages? Thank you a lot in advance!      |

Have a look in /var/cache/edb/virtuals You want the line that starts with virtual/linux-sources This file is safe to edit as long as you are careful. Styvaen. |

I believe you need the kernel-headers package installed. |
