Why does emerge --update world want to install reiserfsprogs

I don't have reiserfs built as a module, or directly into the kernel. But when I do the above emerge, it seems to want to install reisefsprogs. Is this right?

I did that earlier just to see what it would update. I hadn't done it before, so I was curious. Wanted to add reiserfs something for me too.

I see this too, at first I had reiser-utils installed and thought it was because I had this, so I removed it (I didnt need it since I have no reiser filesystems) and did another pretend update yet it still showed.

I've now given in and let it install, but in all honesty I dont need it and I really dont want it.

I'm starting to suspect an evil plot by Reiser to get us to use his file system!

reiserfsprogs is by default one of "system", you can modify
/etc/make.profile/packages, using "#" to mark off it.

but a emerge rsync makes it turned on. :wink:
