[gentoo-user] Why is man-pages-de package installed?
Hello! [16:00:20 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ sudo emerge -Duvat world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [..] [ebuild N] app-i18n/man-pages-de-0.4 0 kB [..] As you can see there, the package man-pages-de is about to get installed after a emerge -Duvat world. As you can see from the indention, the package is on the first level, meaning that no other package requires man-pages-de. Why is man-pages-de going to be installed and how do I make portage *NOT* install those ancient man pages? Thanks, Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I answered without noticing who was asking. I don't know. If you're really sure that it's not in your world file and that no packages depend on it... All I can guess is that something must be broken somewhere. I suppose I'd try cleaning my world file and doing a depclean (with the dep script) to get rid of any unnecessary packages. Could man-pages-de be a dependency of an installed package when some USE flag is set a certain way? I'm wondering if a change in such a USE flag since the original package was installed could cause this behavior to occur. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
