[gentoo-user] Questions on the number of packages listed by 'emerge --depclean'
When I run 'emerge --depclean' I get this at the end as output: Packages installed: 2305 Packages in world:1762 Packages in system: 64 Unique package names: 2283 Required packages:2322 1. It seems I'm missing 17 (2322 - 2305 = 17) packages. How can find out the names of these packages? 2. It seems that I have 479 (2305 - 1762 - 64 = 479) packages that are in neither world nor system. A. What are the names of these packages? B. How did they get onto my system? 3. It seems that I have 22 (2305 - 2283 = 22) packages that are slotted. How can I check this? Thanks. --- Vladimir -- Vladimir G. Ivanovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

They are dependencies of packages in your world file (world includes system). The only packages in world are those you specified on the command line. Example: emerge pysol would emerge pysol and it's dependencies, like pysol-sound-server. Only pysol will actually be in the world file. emerge -p --emptytree world may show you all the packages, but you'll want to pipe it to a pager, cause it'll be a long list. 3. It seems that I have 22 (2305 - 2283 = 22) packages that are slotted. How can I check this? emerge -p --prune world will show you, but don't run it without the -p option, you may very well need some of those.

WOW! That is a *huge* number of packages in world!
1. It seems I'm missing 17 (2322 - 2305 = 17) packages. How can
find out the names of these packages?
They are in the depclean output. If it shows up in depclean, it is
not in world or system, nor a dependancy of something in world or
system.
2. It seems that I have 479 (2305 - 1762 - 64 = 479) packages that
are in neither world nor system.
A. What are the names of these packages?
emerge -Devp system | awk -F'] ' '{ print $2 }' | awk '{ print $1 }'
~/system_pkgs.txt
equery -i list | grep / | while read pkg; do
pkg=${pkg%-[0-9]*}
grep $pkg /var/lib/portager/world /dev/null continue
grep $pkg ~/system_pkgs.txt /dev/null continue
echo $pkg
done
B. How did they get onto my system?
They are dependancies of something in world or system. equery depends pkg.
3. It seems that I have 22 (2305 - 2283 = 22) packages that are
slotted. How can I check this?
emerge --prune --pretend world
Do *NOT* run this command without the --pretend option.

Paul, Thanks for your help. One more question... Does 'emerge --update --deep' look for updates to packages like, using your example, pysol-sound-server, i.e. packages not in my world file? --- Vladimir On Thu, 2006-07-20 at 15:47 -0400, PaulNM wrote: They are dependencies of packages in your world file (world includes system).

It updates the packages listed plus any dependencies in their ebuilds. Adding --deep makes emerge also consider the dependencies of those dependencies and so on right down the tree. -- Neil Bothwick Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
