Depends what you were trying to solve when piping to less. I would run --depclean --ask or --depclean --pretend. Personally, I often have packages installed temporarily with --oneshot, so I run depclean with pretend, and then just emerge -C <list of packages I don't want to keep copied directly from the depclean output> Regards, Arve
