In order to be safer, use * `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before * removing packages. <snip> >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging (1 of 1) app-admin/apg-2.3.0b-r5... ... $ grep apg /var/lib/portage/world app-admin/apg $ emerge -c apg Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Calculating removal order... <snip> >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging (1 of 1) app-admin/apg-2.3.0b-r5... > Clearly you are having a hard time grasping this very simple concept. > I am done, reply if you like, but this thread is serious noise now...
