Is this question now asked once a week? What is also annoying is that
people do no own research before posting to mailing lists. If you had
googled it you would have recognized a few threads _from this list_
discussing this in the not to distant past.
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/faq.
How do I get the reverse dependencies of an ebuild?
I need to know which packages *explicity* depend on gentoo-headers as
I have custom headers which conflict with 2.6.27 mainline.
