A required package is just a dependency. If package A depends on package B then package B is required is you have A installed. > "dev-python/cffi-1.14.0-r3::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by > "dev-python/bcrypt-3.2.0::gentoo" [installed]) (dependency required by > "dev-python/paramiko-2.7.1::gentoo" [installed]) (dependency required > by "dev-vcs/bzr-2.7.0::gentoo" [installed]) This is part of the python cleanup/upgrade already discussed at length on this list over the past week, so the answers are already available.
