Hello,
I took a workstation, quite some time ago, and converted it to
a router/firewall for learning about and testing iptables/netfilter.
It's very minimal:
USE="-* perl acl acpi hardened kerberos krb4 ssl dvd sse mmx readline \
lm_sensors syslog "
and running hardened: 2.6.14-hardened-r8
It's been working fine emerge updates request very little.
However today, upon syncing the system, then 'revdep-rebuild -p'
I get these unwanted packages:
[ebuild N ] dev-db/mysql-4.1.20 USE="perl ssl -berkdb -big-tables
-cluster
-debug -embedded -extraengine -latin1 -minimal -raid -srvdir -static"
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/DBD-mysql-2.9007 USE="perl -minimal"
[ebuild N ] media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.6-r1 USE="-mikmod -mp3
-timidity -vorbis"
[ebuild N ] media-libs/smpeg-0.4.4-r7 USE="mmx -X -debug -gtk
-opengl"
[ebuild N ] dev-python/pygame-1.6.2
Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run
revdep-rebuild.
Furthermore, using 'equery depends <package>' nothing is calling for these
packages....
When I run 'slocate pygame' dozens of things pop up.
Yet:
eix pygame
* dev-python/pygame
Available versions: 1.5.3 1.5.5 1.5.6 1.6 1.6.2 ~1.7.1
Installed: none
The world file does not show any of these packages, so for example,
pygames must be a vestige of the workstation setup. Any hints
on getting ride of request for these packages, other than
using package.mask?
