[gentoo-user] Finding which package requires another
I've removed Apache from my system (using `emerge -C') in order to use a version I've compiled/installed to /usr/local. My world file has no traces of apache, php, apr or apr-util, nor can I see anything in there that should require Apache be installed. `equery depends apache' reports nothing, yet when I run `emerge -pvuD world', emerge wants to re-install Apache, PHP and everything else I've removed. Am I correct that `equery depends apache' should list the packages that require Apache? If that's the case, then is there something cached or in another file that makes Gentoo think it needs to re-install Apache? thx - -- Michael J.

Additionally Daniel da Veiga's suggestion to use emerge's `--tree' option pointed out that I still had mediawiki installed so PHP was getting re-emerged. Thanks!! -- Michael J.
