Why is it strange? The behaviour is correct You accepted the license and world is up to date so portage correctly tells you there is nothing to do. Without the LICENSE statement in make.conf, you have 10 unacceptable packages. So portage tells you it will remove them and replace them without something else, or maybe just display blockers. In any event portage knows there is something to do. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
