No! Don't do it! _NEVER_ use emerge depclean, it can corrupt your system. At first do 'emerge -p depclean' and then unmerge unwanted packages. For example: #emerge -p depclean | grep '/' > ~/depclean Then remove packages from the list, that you don't want to unmerge #emacs ~/depclean #cat ~/depclean | xargs emerge --unmerge Works good for me. Also search gentoo forums, someone has posted there a perl script that removes packages with their dependacies. -- Regards, Nickolay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
