Is it running X or not? If it's a headless, machine, it doesn't seem unreasonable that emerge would be removing unused X11 dependencies. In any case, you could use the `equery depends` tool to determine what, on your other machines, is depending on these packages, and use that information to determine whether you accidentally removed something you intended to install on this machine. --depclean will only remove dependencies that are not required by packages in your @world or selected profile. Removing these packages is probably not going to break anything; you can always reinstall them later if you need them. cal

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge --depclean: !!! sys-apps/less is part of your system
Because eselect's setting of pager does not correlate with emerge's world file.

Porgage went crazy or what? This has been in unstable for many months now. Basically there's now a virtual for $EDITOR and $PAGER so you can pick the one you want. If you don't pick one, portage will take the default and --depclean is likely to remove the others that are not in world. This was all discussed to death months ago :-) Just add your editor and pager of choice to world and continue as normal. It's not a big issue - you already know you want less and have no intention of removing it, so just add it like any other package. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Do you have another editor installed? If yes, portage tell you a remotion of virtual/editor.

emerge --depclean removed libcurl.la a few days ago. I have a program that's not in world that uses it when built: libtool complains that it's missing. In /usr/lib64 there are libcurl .so files but no .la files.How can I get the libcurl.la library back and keep it so emerge --depclean doesn't remove it?Is there a way to protect files from emerge --depclean, kind of like the CONFIG_PROTECT variable, so it removes everything but what's protected?Thanks,dhk

After a recent update I got python 2.7 installed. The emerge --depclean command removed python 2.6 which I thought would be alright since I now have 2.7.

However, for myself, I use tons of third party physics software, among other things. A lot of it is not very recent, and sometimes they are picky about which gcc compiles is (and sometimes I need a shell script to switch the gcc for execution of those programs and switch back afterward...joy!) So if you do a lot of compiling of external programs that are not as well maintained and updated, there's not a lot of reason to *unmerge* an old gcc. There are two reasons to actually remove gcc's in my opinion: revdep-rebuild wants to reinstall all of them, you need the disk space. I have 10 options under gcc-config. I'm not at all recommending this to everyone, but just making the point that, depending on what other things you have going on, it's a good idea to check any third party stuff, at the very least, before just removing it, since there's not much harm in keeping a few extra gccs around for rainy days. ~daid
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge depclean gcc
Thank you for help. Everything went smoothly. To be on a save side I would like to unemerge old version of gcc with --depclean switch. How can I revert my previous --noreplace operation cleanly besides emerge --unemerge =gcc-4.3.4.

[gentoo-user] emerge depclean gcc
Hi I have upgraded my gentoo recently. New version of gcc-4.4.3-r2 has been emerged. Now I have 2 versions of gcc: gcc-4.3.4 gcc-4.4.3-r2 There are still many packages compiled with the old version of gcc and now I don't want to rebuild them all with a new version. emerge --depclean wants to unemerge my old version of gcc. May I just unmerge my old gcc ? Is it save ?

This seems to be the case here, ddd automagically links to elfutils depending on whether it is available or not, instead of being controlled by the ebuild via use flag. So ddd links against elfutils and portage does not know about it. In this case the suggestion of rebuilding the packages does not work. With older portage versions elfutils is removed and the dependency is ignored. Revdep-rebuild will complain about ddd linking against elfutils which is not available anymore and then rebuild ddd which will result in ddd not linking against elfutils anymore. > [...] > And some more of that involving media-libs/libcddb-1.3.2, media- > sound/esound-0.2.41, sys-libs/db-4.5.20_p2-r1 and sys-libs/db-4.6.21_p4. > > Okay, ddd needs libelf.so.1, provided by elfutils.

If ddd really links automagically against elfutils, you should file a Gentoo bug about ddd which needs it's autotools fixed. To save the Gentoo developers some time you can also file an upstream bug and add a reference to it in the Gentoo bug report. If upstream cares about automagic dependencies is another story, in Gentoo it is considered a bug. -- Daniel Pielmeier

It does not remove gcc-3.4.6-r2.After unmerging gcc-4.1.2 I cannot compile anything of course.After unmerging font-misc-misc I can't see Polish fonts in Xterm.I don't know how to solve this problem.Should I make those packages more valuable to the system ?How can I do that.Is my xorg server incorrectly configured. I have xorg 1.5 with HAL.My system does not use any xorg.conf file. It autodetects configuration at startup.When migrating to xorg 1.5 I did not do any special steps to configure and install any Polish fonts.I only made the modifications to support the Polish keyboard layout.Thank you for help.Dopinguj naszą kadrę na Mistrzostwach Europy!Kliknij:http://klik.wp.pl/?adr=http://corto.www.wp.pl/as/eurobasket2009-2.html&sid=860

Binary files that are flagged by revdep-rebuild will continue to do so, because you never rebuild them.

After 1. running the perl script 2. removing the unneeded packages from world 3. adding a few virtual/... packages 4. adding "--with-bdeps y" to make.conf "emerge --depclean" is now happy, i.e. _nothing_ to remove.

[gentoo-user] "emerge --depclean" vs. "revdep-rebuild"
As a "cleanup" test, I've run "emerge --depclean" and "revdep-rebuild". "emerge --depclean" removed approx 85 files, which seemed reasonable. "revdep-rebuild" then rebuilt 7 or 8 packages -- also reasonable. When I run the commands again, "emerge --depclean" removes the packages that "revdep-rebuild" just rebuilt. To be specific, the iteration 10 minutes ago cleaned 6 packages: x11-proto/xf86miscproto dev-libs/boehm-gc dev-util/intltool x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto dev-embedded/gputils x11-misc/util-macros and rebuilt 7 packages: dev-embedded/gputils-0.13.3-r1 x11-misc/util-macros-1.2.1 dev-libs/boehm-gc-6.8 x11-proto/xf86miscproto-0.9.2 x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.2.2 dev-embedded/sdcc-2.5.0_p20060502 x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 Another iteration cleaned 5 packages x11-proto/xf86miscproto dev-libs/boehm-gc x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto dev-embedded/gputils x11-misc/util-macros and rebuilt the same 7 packages. Possibly of interest is that ati-drivers is being rebuilt though it's not being cleaned. This seems behavior less than optimal. FWIW, I'm running on an AMD64 and are: app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4.2-r1 (for revdep-rebuild) sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.11 ( for emerge ) Any thoughts on why the two commands don't agree on what's needed and changes I should make so that the _do_ agree. Thanks. David

Look at the output of `emerge -pv app-editors/vim` and you will be able to see if reinstalling the package causes the flag to change state. The symbols in the USE flag display are documented with the --verbose option in `man emerge`.

Spend ages tracing each dep down and seeing what gives, or 2. Just run emerge --depclean followed by revdep-rebuild and emerge -uND world anyway. Sure, it will take some extra compile time, but it will also filter out the packages that you actually don't have to worry about. I'd recommend #2, which will hopefully leave us with a much smaller list of packages to investigate. alan Hi Alan, OK, I preceded to let emerge --depclean do it's job and then ran revdep-rebuild. It said only samba needed to be rebuilt. When that was complete everything seems clean and happy. No more deps to clean out, emerge -DuN world has no work to do and revdep-rebuiild says everything is cool. Thanks to you and Bo for your help so far. Now on to solving why Evolution is crashing.

I should have said --depclean > wants to remove things that the OP would prefer to remain. There are at least three reasons why you cannot rely on `equery depends` to tell you if a dependency which `emerge --depclean` is going to remove is required or not. 1) USE conditionals. This is adressed in latest ~arch gentoolkit (0.2.3) which prints the conditional. You still have to check the conditional yourself. 2) "|| ( bar baz )" blocks. `equery depends bar` and `equery depends baz` will print foo as depending on them. portage and hence `emerge --depclean` only requires one of them to satisfy the dep. 3) If the ebuild exists in the tree and has been modified since it was installed `emerge --depclean` will use the modified ebuild from the tree. `equery depend` will use the ebuild that was installed in /var/db/pkg. In most if not all cases when `emerge --depclean` and `equery depends` disagree the former is correct (as of portage-2.1.1 at least (or 2.1?)). If you want to verify it with the latter you need to investigate the ebuild to see if any of the mentioned three cases apply... -- Bo Andresen pgpoNdo5HEs70.pgp Description: PGP signature

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.

Hi Mark, OK, so I read this thread and you and Bo both seem to have gotten way off track... No, not really, at least for me. I've got multiple problems here: 1) Evolution crashes 2) emerge --depclean wants to remove things that seem to be dependencies for installed programs 3) While building things to get up to date I get all these libtool warning messages which I started to think might be somehow the root cause of #1 or #2 above. I'd like to fix all three and to Bo's credit he's doing everything he can to help a poor old user type like me. You have a bunch of packages that --depclean wants to remove. It looks like they should not be removed. This screams two questions at me: 1. Did you emerge -avC gnome? No. The machine is 4 years old. It ran fluxbox for about a year and then has run Gnome ever since. Evolution has been used in both environments and worked perfectly until moving from Gnome-2.14 to 2.16 a week or so ago. The gcc-4.1 upgrade was done at Christmas and Gnome-2.14 and Evolution-2.4 worked fine after that upgrade but not now. I'm currently looking for the root cause if these crashes. Not being a developer the first thing I thought to do was look to see if all the dependencies were clean so basically I did: eix-sync emerge -pvDuN world revdep-rebuild until everything looked good. I then look a look at emerge --depclean and saw that there were about 60 packages that it wanted to remove. I worked my way through each and every one doing an equery depends, removing it if there were no dependencies, and then every so often running revdep-rebuild again. However what I started finding as I got to the end of the process was that out of the 60 packages ot be removed 15 showed that something at the application level - Gnome, Evolution, spamassasin, etc., that needed something that --depclean wanted to remove. For kicked I did an emerge -C on one package and then immediately did a revdep-rebuild. The system emerged what I just removed. That's when I contacted the list. 2. If you never had gnome installed but did have evo installed, then removed evo, everything looks proper. So, let --depclean do it's thing. Then emerge -uND world and run revder-rebuild to fix anything that remains. Based on my response above should I be doing this? From the info I posted earlier if I emerge -C jasper, as --depclean wants to do, then it seems it will just be emerged again at emerge -DuN world. I'm happy to do it if it's the right thing to do.

Hi Mark, OK, so I read this thread and you and Bo both seem to have gotten way off track... You have a bunch of packages that --depclean wants to remove. It looks like they should not be removed. This screams two questions at me: 1. Did you emerge -avC gnome? 2. If you never had gnome installed but did have evo installed, then removed evo, everything looks proper. So, let --depclean do it's thing. Then emerge -uND world and run revder-rebuild to fix anything that remains 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?

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge --depclean wants to remove required packages
Bo, I'm wondering if you (or anyone else) have any comments on the causes of the link warnings at the bottom of this post? What might the cause be? Did I not do something correctly in the gcc upgrade? I'm pretty sure I did these steps: fix_libtool_files.sh 3.4.6 emerge --oneshot -av libtool but don't think I can really tell anymore. It's been a few months. The machine has been running fine until this recent Evolution upgrade. Now no version of Evolution in portage will work. they all crash immediately.

[gentoo-user] emerge --depclean wants to remove required packages
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

I do try to be very careful though when it comes to things like python, gcc and those critical things. I messed up my system once and had to install from scratch and I learned to be careful. Gentoo is a bit harder to install and takes longer too than say Mandriva. I knew they wouldn't set my system on fire but I always ask first before I do anything I may regret.
