Hi,
a long time ago I've installed some packeges on my server that need qt and some othe X packages. I think that I all unmerged it but on "emerge -Du world -p" he would always install qt:
Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] x11-libs/qt-3.2.3
how can i check wich package depend on it to remove it?
First check /var/cache/edb/virtuals to see if it is listed in there. If not you can use one of several tools in /usr/portage/app-portage such as qpkg to do dep checking. As for parameters to these commands, I would not know as I always just grep /var/db/pkg.
Ok, I found out that I've also xfree and so on installed and unmerged it now. But now my Gentoo will merge xfree again :-( Is there any Option to emerge that can show me why it will install xfree or somethink else? My USE-Flags are: -X -kde -gnome -qt and so on.
Add the line:
x11-base/xfree
to the file '/etc/portage/package.mask'. If that file and/or dir doesn't exist, create it. Run 'emerge -upDv world'. It will give you an error and tell you which package is trying to pull in xfree.
