The OP said in his original mail "when I run emerge --depclean wants remove packages that would break dependencies" Presumably he knows his system well enough to know that the packages in question are necessary. I probably worded my statement wrongly as well. As written it implies that --depclean erroneously wants to remove things that should remain according to information in the ebuilds. I should have said --depclean wants to remove things that the OP would prefer to remain. alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
