Hi all; |
2 |
|
3 |
I see in the emerge man page that "unmerge" doesn't remove packages that |
4 |
depend on the package you're unmerging. |
5 |
|
6 |
|
7 |
But, that's the behavior I want! In Debian, for example, if I remove a |
8 |
package than anything that requires that package is also removed. I |
9 |
need this behavior from Portage as well. |
10 |
|
11 |
A read through the emerge man page didn't yield any help; is there any |
12 |
way to ask for a package _AND_ all packages it depends on be removed? |
13 |
|
14 |
|
15 |
A related question is this: suppose I upgrade a library. I have 5 |
16 |
packages installed that depend on that library. How can I get Portage |
17 |
to re-emerge those 5 packages after I've installed the new version of my |
18 |
library, so that the changes in the new library get picked up? |
19 |
|
20 |
In other words, I want a command that says "emerge this, and everything |
21 |
that depends on it". |
22 |
|
23 |
|
24 |
Any help? |
