[gentoo-user] dangerous to emerge --depclean
I emerge -- depclean and the drivers of keyboard,mouse ,vedio and many libs of font and many other package have been unmerge. After revdep-rebuild, i reboot but i even can not startx,and i have to re-emerge the drivers to startx,and then the libs of font to make my fonts normal manual accroding to the unmerge messages in /var/log/emerge.log.And now my audacious can't show my Chinese characters ever after re-emerge it. I just can't understand why emerge -- depclean such a dangerous command can exist or i do it in a wrong way(although i think i am right). Does this ever happened to you? How can you fix it ? -- wcw -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] dangerous to emerge --depclean
emerge --depclean should only be used with --pretend/--ask and --verbose (-pv/-av),it existed before to let users know how to unmerge all of the packages Gnome or KDE(large meta-packs).Guess now you'll read the man pages before trying something ! :) On 03/06/06, Chuanwen Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I emerge -- depclean and the drivers of keyboard,mouse ,vedio and manylibs of font and many other package have been unmerge.After revdep-rebuild, i reboot but i even can not startx,and i have tore-emerge the drivers to startx,and then the libs of font to make my fonts normal manual accroding to the unmerge messages in/var/log/emerge.log.And now my audacious can't show my Chinesecharacters ever after re-emerge it.I just can't understand why emerge -- depclean such a dangerous command can exist or i do it in a wrong way(although i think i amright).Does this ever happened to you?How can you fix it ?--wcw--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list-- ..--*ipridian

I think the man page says it very well. WARNING: Removing some packages may cause packages which link to the removed package to stop working and complain about missing libraries. Re-emerge the complaining package to fix this issue. Note that changes in USE flags can drastically affect the output of --depclean. It is telling you to be careful using that option. What more can you ask for than a warning? It also tells you how to fix it, re-emerge the packages that are missing and are needed. Look in /var/log/emerge.log and see what was removed then re-emerge them one by one until everything works. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
