Pulled from your world file, you mean? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
equery depends <pkg> |

| 18 |
will give you a listing of what portage thinks is pulling in that |
| 19 |
package. When that returns nothing, if it's not in world itself, an |
| 20 |
emerge --pretend --depclean should offer to remove it. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
As Mark suggested, a revdep-rebuild is a good idea too. I'd suggest |
| 23 |
running it before the --depclean to ensure your system is health then |
| 24 |
(you can ignore any gnome packages in that run), and again after the -- |
| 25 |
depclean to ensure it's still healthy. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
emerge -NuD world (world and system both if on portage 2.2) |
| 30 |
revdep-rebuild |
| 31 |
emerge --depclean |
| 32 |
revdep-rebuild |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
is what I'd try, in that order, of course using -p or -a first, where |
| 35 |
appropriate. |
