[gentoo-user] emerge --depclean -p output looks weird
Hi, I run --depclean on occasion just to clean out some old cruft. I got this output a bit ago and it is well . . . confusing me. Here it is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # emerge -p --depclean *** WARNING *** Depclean may break link level dependencies. Thus, it is *** WARNING *** recommended to use a tool such as `revdep-rebuild` (from *** WARNING *** app-portage/gentoolkit) in order to detect such breakage. *** WARNING *** *** WARNING *** Also study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious *** WARNING *** mistakes.

Zac Aaa, I see now. I didn't know you could put a specific version in the world file. That's cool. It worked too. Now I can get rid of the other kernels too. The newer kernel didn't get along with my Nvidia card for some reason. It worked just slow as leap year. Went back to my old kernel. Thanks for the info.
