Checked all make.conf and /etc/portage/*, all use flags are fine according to me, masks are good too (not masking any deps of ssh), keywords are good (same, not using unstable stuff for any deps of ssh). > Since this pc is not connected to the net, i used to sync it through > ssh, so it has not been sync'ed in a while now... i'll try to manage > to sync it (maybe tar /usr/portage and netcat that over, dunno...). Well, i actually did the following command on both my up2date laptop and this outdated pc: emerge -e -p openssh > somefile Then copied the file over to my laptop and compared differences: hideo ~ # diff --suppress-common-lines -y ./hideo_openssh_fullemerge.txt wmslave_openssh_fullemerge.txt Calculating dependencies ... done! | Calculating dependencies ... done! [ebuild R ] app-admin/eselect-python-20090606 < > [ebuild R ] sys-apps/sed-4.1.5-r1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/sed-4.2 < [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r3 | [ebuild R ] dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2 [ebuild R ] app-admin/eselect-1.1.1 | [ebuild R ] app-admin/eselect-1.0.12 ---- sorry the diff shows probably better if not wrapped at 80chars... but bottomline is i have an older version of python, sed and eselect on the outdated pc. Since i have nothing better to try at the moment, i will wipeout /usr/portage on the outdated pc and copy my laptops over using wget (i hope apache supports resuming downloads by default, in case!)... Thanks again!...
