Hi, Everytime 'emerge --depclean' drops dev-lang/ekopath it is reinstalled on the next world update.
I guess dev-lang/ekopath is pulled in by dev-lang/R in my case (I do not USE fortran). ekopath provides virtual/fortran which in turn is required by R. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ equery depgraph virtual/fortran * Searching for fortran in virtual ... * dependency graph for virtual/fortran-0 `-- virtual/fortran-0 amd64 `-- sys-devel/gcc-4.6.2-r1 (sys-devel/gcc) [missing keyword] [fortran] `-- sys-devel/gcc-apple-4.2.1_p5666-r1 (sys-devel/gcc-apple) [missing keyword] [fortran] `-- dev-lang/ekopath-4.0.12.1_pre20120530 (dev-lang/ekopath) ~amd64 `-- dev-lang/path64-1.0.0_pre20120223 (dev-lang/path64) ~amd64 `-- dev-lang/ifc-13.0.0.079-r1 (dev-lang/ifc) Intel-SDP license(s) [ virtual/fortran-0 stats: packages (6), max depth (1) ] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So, my question is: why does 'emerge --depclean' suggest to drop it? -Stefan
