Hi everybody, I'm trying to clean my install (one year old, so it's time to do it). I run an update, and run : emerge --newuse -Dvu world
It installs a lot of update and so on and do everything ok. Afterwards, I run : revdep-rebuild It makes a lot of rebuild about some broken link, I also uninstall so useless software and/or lib. Now, I'm quite sure everything is correctly linked, since runing emerge --newuse -Dvu world or revdep-rebuild answers : << nothing has to be done >>. Now I try the dangerous following command as describe in the documentation : emerge --depclean -p (just to see what should be done) And then I'm quite surprise, 41 packages should be removed, and among them, a lot of usefull lib or tool (perl-ldap, xinetd, and so on ...) Is this result normal ? What did I miss ? Thank by advance about this your help.
