Recently, after running 'paludis --report', I was informed that dev-
lang/python-2.5.4-r2:2.5::installed no longer exists in the gentoo repository.
I ran 'paludis --query' to see the state of things:
* dev-lang/python
gentoo: 2.4.6 {:2.4} 2.5.4-r3 {:2.5} 2.6.2-r1 {:2.6}
3.1(~) 3.1.1(~) {:3.1}
installed: 2.5.4-r2 {:2.5} 2.6.2-r1 {:2.6} 3.1.1* {:3.1}
Having 2.5 and 2.6 installed seemed a bit overkill to me, so I decided to see
what paludis would think about removing 2.5:
paludis -pu =dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2
And it came up with a list of 36 things that depended on python, like
hplip-3.9.4b-r1 However, when I went and looked at the ebuild, the only direct
python dependency that I found was ">=dev-lang/python-2.4.4[threads]", which
would appear to be met even if I were to remove python 2.5. The other ebuilds
I examined had similar >= dependencies (though I didn't go through all of
them).
Obviously, I could use --permit-unsafe-uninstalls to get rid of python 2.5,
but I'd like to have some confidence that nothing on the system actually
depends on it. Is there any way to do that?
