Hi, I am trying to keep my new install nice and clean, nothing useless lurking around. I run emerge -p --depclean world on occasion and I finally got this one:

This is what I got: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery depends fftw > [ Searching for packages depending on fftw... ] > media-libs/libsamplerate-0.1.2 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery depends libsamplerate > [ Searching for packages depending on libsamplerate... ] > media-sound/audacious-1.1.2-r1 > media-libs/akode-2.0.1 > app-cdr/k3b-0.12.17 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # So it seems libsamplerate needs fftw, and a few things need libsamplerate. So if removing fftw breaks libsamplerate then could that lead to the ones needing libsamplerate breaking to? Sounds like dominoes falling to me. My question is this, is it safe to remove fftw? I am learning here. See how much research I did before coming here? I haven't removed it yet either. Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
