Problem is I was talking about removing packages directly. It served no purpose in this discussion. Since I use --depclean, not -c. I was assuming -c was unmerge like -C, but it is not. Others brought that up and sidetracked things. I just did not catch and mistakenly went down that wormhole. > > > It is not the same as -C, which is remove a package directly. > > > > --unmerge (-C) > > Correct, --unmerge will remove a package without considering > dependencies (give or take a few special cases).

Yes and if you see bug. All I am saying is adding warnings when someone goes to remove a dependency. Since a dependency IS a critical package :) Add warning message when -C/--unmerge a dependency like system, profile, and set files. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624630 -- William L.
