Depclean is to remove packages that are no longer in or a dependency of something in your world file. > Last part, zoooooooom, right over my head I think.

So just to illustrate: # touch /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/bugsummary.vim # emerge --unmerge -va gentoo-syntax >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: [SNIP] >>> Unmerging app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20051221-r1... No package files given... Grabbing a set. [SNIP] <<< obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newinitd.vim <<< obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/neweselect.vim <<< obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newebuild.vim <<< obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/gentoo-common.vim --- !mtime obj /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/bugsummary.vim [SNIP] --- !empty dir /usr/share/vim <<< dir /usr/share/doc/gentoo-syntax-20051221-r1 All the things that has a "<<<" are actually removed. The things with "---" are not removed for the reason given in the following column. Since I touch'ed /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/bugsummary.vim it wasn't removed with the reason: "!mtime" which means the last modified time has been altered after it was installed. The reason "!empty" is the reason for dirs which aren't empty (others packages have installed files in the same dirs...). After the unmerge is complete the only way to know is that the files no longer belong to any package. Of course when I remerge this package in a few minutes the files will be overwritten and the mtime will be correct again... Hope that makes it clear. -- Bo Andresen
