How's this look? Anything going to break? I'm not worried about
removing KDE 3.4. 3.5 seems stable anyway. I like that WARNING though.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # emerge -p depclean
Packages installed: 677
Packages in world: 90
Packages in system: 59
Unique package names: 618
Required packages: 634
Number to remove: 59
That's a lot of packages to remove in one go. I'd remove a few at a time,
running emerge -utvDN world after each run. As long as nothing not on the
depclean list ries to pull the removed packages back in, remove a few
more. It takes a bit longer, but makes it easier to identify the cause
if a problem occurs. I'd start with the non-library packages.
That is how I remove old KDE after a big upgrade too, one at a time and
then confirm with the -p at the end to make sure I got it all. I'll go
to work on it tomorrow. I'm still half asleep and it may not be a good
idea right now.
And to think I cleaned off a hard drive for the install. o_O And
cleaned off my back-up to do that too. O_O
Thanks
