[gentoo-user] finding dependencies

[Andrew Gaffney]

Yesterday, in my effort to further rid my system of GNOME (nothing 
against GNOME, I just prefer less bloat) I removed all of these 
packages. But before I removed any of them, I checked each one of them 
for leftover packages that depended on them with 'qpkg -q -nc -I 
pkgname'. Now they are all wanting to come back. I try 'qpkg -q -n 
pkgname-pkgver' on each one and can't find anything installed that 
depends on them. I have '-gnome' in my use flags and have verified its 
taking effect by using the -v option of emerge. Why do they haunt me so?!

upstairs root # emerge -upD world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
