Depclean cannot unmerge important packages unless:

So dont be afraid and run a depclean. It will only remove dependencies
of packages you no longer have.



Extend "3" to general USE flag changes after a build. You are *really* encouraged to first run "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" first, then depclean, and then revdep-rebuild.

That's all explained in

I know, IMO --newuse flag is one of the best user-side enanchement of newer portages, I do it also after a sync.
changed CFLAGS to "-Os" so emerged those packages and then "emerge --emptytree -v world" no more crying about that


btw "kde-base/kate-3.4.0_beta1" works fine on ~amd64 using fluxbox as wm

If wanted on amd64 (dual opteron) I can do a "cd /usr/portage/kde-base ; emerge --buildpkgonly --oneshot *" (but remember that -Os) let me know !

best regards,
