What is the policy of what the /var/cache/edb/world file should contain? |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I was under the impression that is should contain all installed packages |
| 4 |
which are not dependencies. No more no less. |
| 5 |
Of course there is some exceptions like a package should be stated even |
| 6 |
if there is some plugins to that package installed. |
| 7 |
f.ex. |
| 8 |
app-dicts/aspell |
| 9 |
app-dicts/aspell-se |
| 10 |
app-dicts/aspell-en |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
How should this case be handled? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
But after running the script that where supposed to fix this file, it |
| 15 |
contains a lot of packages that already are dependencies... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If I edit it by hand to only contain the packages I KNOW I want, the |
| 18 |
depclean gets really odd on me. It tried to uninstall perl f.ex. which |
| 19 |
clearly is a dependency on many things. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So is there a bug here, or is this policy clearly stated somewhere? |
| 22 |
|

|
| 24 |
Oh and another thing, why would anyone want to run emerge -u world |
| 25 |
without --deep? And why wouldn't you want --deep to include all the deps |
| 26 |
down to glibc? |
