Hi all.

I have a little bit of a simple question, but im not sure how you would find the answer.

Every time I perform a emerge -uND world, portage installs htdig onto the server. I then go an unmerge the software manually. This has happened the last 3 updates.

I was wondering how I would track down why emerge thinks htdig should be installed system. I'm unsure how to troubleshoot this issue.

Reason why is; i'm running my own home web server which faces the internet, and I don't want to be offering dig through a webpage.

Thanks
Lock

ok so noob me has figured out that equery shows the packages which are dependent on.

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] www-misc/htdig-3.2.0_beta6-r3 USE="-ssl" 0 kB
[ebuild R ] kde-base/khelpcenter-4.7.2 USE="(-aqua) -debug (-kdeenablefinal)" 0 kB

I guess I have to unmerge the help. I really don't want it.

The "handbook" USE flag is the culprit.

With some equery here and equery there,

Ive figured out that its the handbook flag which is not in my default /etc/make.conf file. This is pulling in htdig into khelpcenter, think its just better to remove it completely and work backwards for specific packages which i want the handbook in.
