Hi, I've been cleaning up a machine trying to fix a problem with Evolution crashing. I'm down to the point where all the dependencies (emerge -DuN and revdep-rebuild) are clean but when I run emerge --depclean wants remove packages that would break dependencies.
I understand that I could fix this by adding these 15 packages to the world file on this machine, but isn't doing that really wrong? Is there no tool better than emerge --depclean for determining what really needs to be removed? Here's a list of what --depclean wants to remove: net-misc/curl perl-core/Digest-MD5 perl-core/DB_File media-libs/jasper dev-lang/tk sys-libs/libcap perl-core/libnet x11-libs/libXvMC perl-core/Storable dev-lang/swig dev-scheme/guile x11-libs/fox-wrapper gnome-extra/at-spi media-libs/jbigkit dev-lang/tcl Many, but not all, of these seem to be traceable back to either Evolution, spamassassin or Gnome. Are these bugs in the ebuilds that should be reported or is there some correct way for me to fix this up? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
