Along with dire warnings about ruining your system it lists 80 pkgs to be removed. Some are also on the eix-test-obsolete list of 14. I suspect I had better not allow it to actually remove these pkgs. For example, one of the listed pkgs is: gnome-base/libgnomeui which equery says `firefox' and `etherape' depend on. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
