I went with rust-bin because lots of GTK programs (evince, gimp,
deluge) as well as some other miscellaneous utilities rely on librsvg
which requires rust.
So, since I need

It is. You can choose to avoid Rust if you want.

Thank you both Julien and Miles for your help.
I got the list I wanted, and I can go ahead with removing rust.

Miles,
Thank you for your response. The idea of "getting harder and harder"
is hard to accept. Gentoo has always been about having choices.
Firefox requires rust, but is there a way to disable this ?
There must be another way to let the user decide if they need it or not !
And yes, the compile
If your *reason* for wanting to remove rust is the compile time, bear
in mind there is also a rust-bin package these days. There are an
increasingly large number of major packages that have rust as a
dependency, so it's getting harder and harder to get away from.
Obviously anything from the
I am trying to avoid installing rust and prevent emerge --update
--deep world from installing it again.
How to do this ?

Nothing to depclean and perl-cleaner reports nothing to rebuild

None of the ideas here helped me either.
Neither did changing the LANG nor MAKEOPTS.

Now you mention it, that's what I did

And sometimes if you use --binpkg-respect-use=n and/or --with-bdeps=n you can
jostle it into using more of the binaries on both passes.
Additionally, you can use the ebuild command directly to force it to just
install things without checking all the dependencies, that's sometimes handy

Hi,
What I would suggest is to try yo emerge @world first with a reduced
list of USE flags, maybe the default, and after success you could
introduce back the wanted USE flags and emerge @world once more.
It could be a bit too much compilation, but if you have already binary
packages, it

Sound works just fine (wired connection) if I create a new user account and log

After a main HD failure, I'll have to reinstall Gentoo from almost zero - I
have a full and recent copy of the /etc directory and the file

Installation basics done, now it is time for an emerge world.
