O.o Care to share some of the packages causing this? Maybe some packages have interactivity marked only in their later versions, and others have it in their earlier ones? As the feature is not advertised on the portage man-page it could also be that it is still exceptionally buggy or non-functional somehow (but the bug was closed ...) ... and also, maybe there is another way to do this? This was the first one I found. >> Naturally, I'm running 2.2rc-series portage, so 2.1 might not have it. > > I do, this is a ~amd64 system. Ok, the box I tried that on was a mostly stable amd64, with only some end-user programs and libs (like mozilla-firefox and xulrunner) on testing. And naturally portage-2.2rc40, as you couldn't get kde4 without it the other year. -- Arttu V.
