Have you seen the big fat warning that says "emerge --depclean may
damage your system" ?
"--depclean" is a nice service for advanced users. It's nothing for
beginners. You should know, why it does - and how it does what it does.
Well, --depclean start with all the packages in your world-file
(/var/lib/portage/world) and then it visits all the dependencies and the
dependencies of the dependencies of the packages.
All the packages, that are installed but that are not in the world file
or not a dependency, these packages are removed.
Thanks for your advices!I have learned a lot!
