Actually, none of them gives you any info about why a package is installed, and --unmerge doesn't even try to check. Without --pretend it's perfectly happy to let you shoot yourself in the foot. What you actually need to get portage to tell you what requires the package in question is # emerge --pretend --depclean --verbose gnome-keyring Regards, Arve
