Running #emerge --depclean --backtrack=60 --ask after updating my system today, I have got the following: >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
dev-lang/tk selected: 8.5.15 protected: none omitted: none dev-lang/tcl selected: 8.5.15-r1 protected: none omitted: none All selected packages: dev-lang/tk-8.5.15 dev-lang/tcl-8.5.15-r1 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No] On the other hand, $ equery depends gives $ equery depends tk * These packages depend on tk: app-text/epspdf-0.6.0 (tk ? dev-lang/tk) dev-lang/R-3.0.1 (tk ? dev-lang/tk) dev-lang/ocaml-3.12.1 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-3.3.3) dev-lang/python-2.7.7 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.0) dev-lang/python-3.3.5-r1 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.0) dev-libs/libisoburn-1.3.4 (launch-frontend ? dev-lang/tk:0) (launch-frontend-setuid ? dev-lang/tk:0) dev-ml/lablgl-1.05 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.3) dev-vcs/git-1.8.5.5 (tk ? dev-lang/tk) What does it means? Do all these packages depend on dev-lang/tk or not? Can I answer Yes to emerge --depclean --ask?
