Hi Chris, Yes, that's exactly what happened. It's quite funny actually :-) You did post emerge output using -t and it shows up at the top level which is a bit odd, it implies portage wants to update opencv anyway, not as a result of it being a dep. Are you sure you didn't keyword opencv and forget about it? grep -r opencv /etc/portage and to be complete, what are the deps for the package: equery depends opencv -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
