Yes, the sources wouldn't be needed if I had upgraded the kernel. Still one might expect it to figure out which kernel is in use and to not try to delete it --- that would make some sense. > For kernel sources, tell portage to not remove it: > > `emerge --noreplace sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:4.4.52` > > as an example. > > If you do that, --depclean will not remove the sources for 4.4.52 (as an > example.) Thanks, I couldn't find an option like this. It worked --- now some time when I do upgrade the kernel, I somehow need to remove these sources from the world list, I guess ... -- "Didn't work" is an error.
