I always check the list from depclean to see if there is any package and/or version that I am actually using. If yes, I add it to the world file. (Emerge --noreplace) If no, I say yes and go do something else. I always configure portage to create binpackages which make for a very easy and quick restore if depclean does make a mistake. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
