i'd like to ask you if it's possible to unmerge the dependencies of a meta package that installed automatic but have recorded in world file after a while. For example, i want to unmerge gnome-light but many dependencies have already re-emerged without oneshot option and have recorded in world file. So "emerge -C gnome-light || emerge --depclean" does not help anymore.
You have to edit world file manually and remove everything but the packages you really need and then run emerge --depclean again. HTH -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
