Hi, Isn't qpkg -q supposed to show me the installed packages that depend on the package I list in the command? I think I must be misunderstanding the man page, but that's what I read.
I emerged Rosegarden last night on one of my studio machines. The emerge went fine and the program is running, but the process threw me for a bit of a loop. I'll show results from two different machines to demonstrate the question. Both machines are updated as of last night for ~x86 and their USE flags are identical. (And pretty boring...) When I asked the studio machine to install Rosegarden, it emerged kdemultimedia. (Shown just below on machine 'Gentoo2 which doesn't have RG emerged yet.) I was a bit surprised this was necessary, but let it proceed. On Wizard, the machine that actually has Rosegarden, I ran qpkg -q to see what packages depend on kdemultimedia. It does not show me Rosegarden, even though RG is installed. Maybe I'm using the wrong qpkg option? I want to see what packages would break if I uninstalled kdemultimedia. Thanks, Mark bash-2.05b$ su - Password: Gentoo2 root # emerge --deep --update -p rosegarden These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! <SNIP> [ebuild N ] x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.2-r2 [ebuild N ] kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.1.3 [ebuild N ] media-sound/rosegarden-4.0.9 Gentoo2 root # Wizard root # qpkg -q kdemultimedia kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.1.3 * DEPENDED ON BY: kde-base/kdemultimedia-2.2.2-r1 DEPENDED ON BY: kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.0.4 DEPENDED ON BY: kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.1.3 DEPENDED ON BY: kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.0.5b DEPENDED ON BY: kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.1.1 DEPENDED ON BY: kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.1.2 DEPENDED ON BY: kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.1.2-r1 DEPENDED ON BY: Wizard root # -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
