Re: [gentoo-user] Strange --depclean / mit-krb5

[Dake Wang]

I think in the configure script of some softwares they will just detect
whether certain things are installed even though you turned off the use
flag. So you just remove kerberos first, then remerge the packages that are
reported to be depending on them.

过客匆匆不复还
居隐一世，无事事
