Hi there! Any idea why emerge --depclean wants to remove app-shells/bash-completion-config? It it needed by some installed packages: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ --> equery depends app-shells/bash-completion-config [ Searching for packages depending on app-shells/bash-completion-config... ] app-editors/vim-7.0.235 (bash-completion? app-shells/bash-completion-config) app-editors/vim-core-7.0.235 (bash-completion? app-shells/bash-completion-config) app-misc/figlet-222 (bash-completion? app-shells/bash-completion-config) app-portage/genlop-0.30.7 (bash-completion? app-shells/bash-completion-config) app-portage/udept-0.5.99.0.2.95-r1 (bash-completion? app-shells/bash-completion-config) dev-util/subversion-1.3.2-r4 (bash-completion? app-shells/bash-completion-config) I have the bash-completion USE flag set, so why does emerge --depclean want to remove this package? I also tried dep -a -d (from app-portage/udept), it also wants to remove it. My system is up to date, I did emerge -NuD world and revdep-rebuild. This is no big problem of course, I am just curious and would like to understand what is going on.
I don't know any of the details, but I can report this: my system is also clean, has the bash-completion USE flag, and does _not_ have the bash-completion package installed. Everything seems to work just fine. Moreover, I use the "bash themes" from Linux Journal of a year or so ago, which relies heavily on the "complete" builtin. So you have to ask yourself what capability are you missing that you want? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
