I expect there will be none, otherwise depclean would not want to remove it. If you remove it, you can run revdep-rebuild to see if any programs have broken libs und rebuild them. equery is not the most reliable tool for this purpose. It is better to run: emerge --depclean -v -p '=x11-libs/gtk+-3.0.9' This will show all packages that depend on the above version. If none comes up you can allow depclean to do its thing. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] removing gtk+ as requested by --depclean
gtk+ 3.x is not used by gnome versions in portage (2.x). If you don't know if you need it, then you don't need it. You will be happy as long as portage doesn't want to remove gtk+ 2.x which is what most programs use. I don't even know if there's anything in portage at all that will require 3.x. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella

It is required only for gnome3, which I am not yet running. thank you and norman as well, allan

Gnome3 is slowly making its way into portage, and so so is bringing with it packages that depend either explicitly or optionally on gtk3, e.g. libunique-3.0.0 clutter-gtk libnotify-0.7.2 gtkmm-3.0.0.
