Hi, Earlier today emerge --depclean wouldn't remove db because 3 programs needed it so I rebuilt the 3 programs but it's still complaining about php. Sometimes I'll just remove the problem package - like db in this case - and then let an emerge -DuN @world / revdep-rebuild fix it, but I wanted to be careful with db as it might be important to portage or eix.
What's the right way to fix this? If it matters this is a PPC Mac Mini used as a MythTV backend server. revdep-rebuild -ip says everything is clean and emerge -DuN @system @world is finished.
