Hi,
Check out this wackiness from depclean.
This has had me stumped all day, no matter how many merges, depcleans,
revdep-rebuilds I try.
It's long...
But, basically, depclean wants to remove packages that equery says have direct
dependencies.
equery depends is unfortunately broken. It does not consider use flag
dependancies.
Examples from your list:
- kdegraphics only depends on imlib if you have the imlib USE flag
set, which you do not.
- cups only depends on gnutls if you have the gnutls USE flag set,
which you do not.
If "emerge -DNuvp" does not want to merge anything, then the depclean
list is the list of packages that are not listed in
/var/lib/portage/world or system, and are also not a dependancy of
something in world or system.
