Hello group, after years of reading of other people’s dependency stupefications here, it is finally my turn. Looking over the output of emerge --depclean after a world update, I found that portage wants to remove my X11 video driver. o.O From my point of view, it should not want to do so, because all requirements seem to be in order for the package to be kept. Can you enlighten me, please?
Here’s how far I got:
$ emerge --depclean -pv xf86-video-intel
