Actually it sort of was a USE flag, in a different way equery d sphinx ...spits out a whole bunch of stuff such as... dev-util/cmake-3.22.4 (doc ? dev-python/sphinx) net-dns/bind-tools-9.16.30 (doc ? dev-python/sphinx) Apparently, "USE=doc" flag is enabled by default. I put "-doc" into USE in make.conf and tried "emerge --depclean dev-python/sphinx". dev-python/sphinx_rtd_theme-1.0.0-r1 blocked that, claiming that qemu was still using the "doc" flag. I manually, force-unmerged dev-python/sphinx_rtd_theme-1.0.0-r1. Then there were circular dependancies between sphinx and... dev-python/sphinxcontrib-applehelp-1.0.2-r1 dev-python/sphinxcontrib-devhelp-1.0.2-r1 dev-python/sphinxcontrib-htmlhelp-2.0.0-r1 dev-python/sphinxcontrib-jsmath-1.0.1-r2 dev-python/sphinxcontrib-qthelp-1.0.3-r1 dev-python/sphinxcontrib-serializinghtml-1.1.5-r1 After force-unmerging them one at a time, I successfully ran... emerge --depclean dev-python/sphinx And the climax... [thimk2][root][~] emerge -pv --changed-use --deep --update @world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] dev-python/docutils-0.19::gentoo [0.17.1-r1::gentoo] PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_10 (-pypy3) -python3_8 -python3_9 (-python3_11)" 2,009 KiB After updating @world, my homebrew depclean script flagged 11 python modules for removal. Thanks for everybody's help straightening out the problem, and getting sphinx off my laptop in the process. I've added "-doc" to the USE flags on my desktop, and I'll repeat the removal process on my next @world update. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
