This question arose when unmerging a package that possibly required several other packages when it was installed. I would like to unmerge packages that were installed as a requirement and are not needed. emerge depclean -p CHECK THE OUTPUT, and take heed of the warning emerge depclean Warnings are enough for me to avoid depclean altogether. I do an emerge -p prog prog.txt. Then, if I need to unemerge prog, I have a list of what else has been installed, and go from there. -- Ed Jabbour -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Blocks in emerging KDE 3.2
I ran ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -p kde, and got the following blocks: [blocks B ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4 (from pkg x11-libs/qt-3.2.3-r1) [blocks B ] media-sound/juk (from pkg kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.2.0 That last is no problem - I'll just unemerge juk. But, is the first a problem when one of the compiles is ebuild N] kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.0? I don't want to unemerge kde-libs because, as I understand it, 3.2 will install alongside the current kde, which will not be removed. qt is listed before kde-libs. Will emerge just install the new kdelibs and then qt-3.2.3 will not be blocked? Am I making sense? Any advice appreciated. Thanks. -- Ed Jabbour -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Linux print server rejecting Mac OSX request
I hope this isn't off-topic here. Gentoo machine, 2.6.1 kernel, cups 1.1.19. The Linux box, using turboprint, prints fine to a USB Canon S900. However, any attempt to print from the Mac OSX Jaguar, 192.168.1.100, yields a Network host 192.168.1.101 is busy message and does not print. OSX finds the printer automagically under Shared Printers with the correct queue name, etc. The problem, it seems, is on the Linux box, from which the following is taken: == cupsd is running. netstat lists: tcp0 0 localhost:631 *:* LISTEN udp0 0 *:631 *:* /etc/cupsd.conf has, obviously among much else: Listen 127.0.0.1:631 Browsing On BrowseProtocols cups BrowseAllow 127.0.0.1 BrowseAllow @LOCAL BrowseDeny ALL BrowsePort 631 Location / Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 @LOCAL 192.168.1.* /Location AuthType Basic AuthClass System ## Restrict access to local domain Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 === Any advice appreciated.

However, an identical log appears in /var/log/syslog. How to keep
it from logging to messages? Sorry, but syslog.conf is gibberish
to me, and the man page is not very helpful. Any advice
appreciated. Thanks.

The generation of STATS lines isn't the problem. It's their
destination. How to keep 'em out of /var/log/messages?

Sure you have. Try which sendmail. Well, well - shows what I know. Somewhere below in this thread, you state that this sendmail is a link to ssmtp. At least on my gentoo, it isn't, It's just a plain old executable. ssmtp has been removed.

[gentoo-user] Local mail
My machine is not sending localmail, i.e., error messages, cron junk, etc, to root -- Sendmail: cannot open port 25.No wonder - I do not have sendmail installed. I'd rather not install it. I have ssmtp, but my wanderings around Google tell me that it is not for delivery of local mail. Is there anything smaller, less complicated than sendmail which I can get and use?

[gentoo-user] win4lin 5.0??
I purchased Win4Lin 5.0 from the Gentoo special offer. I contacted Netraverse support regarding installation. They informed me as follows: We are working on getting information from Gentoo on how they expect their customers to install Win4Lin - we don't have any of this yet as per our partnership with Gentoo, they do all of the kernel support as well as repackage Win4Lin for the portage system so their customers can install Win4Lin as they would install anything else. As soon as we have information from Gentoo on installation, we will add a FAQ to our knowledge base. I tried installing via the downloaded installer, but it refuses, saying the kernel is incompatible. I have a recompiled 2.4.20-gentoo-r5. Gentoo has 5.0 in http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/win4lin/win4lin-5.0.1.ebuild Does that ebuild have the win4lin sources? Can I (once I learn to use cvs) use that ebuild, or should I keep trying the installer? Or perhaps I'm not making any sense? If anyone has had sucess with this, I'd appreciate any advice, ponters, etc. Thanks. -- Ed Jabbour -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
