In preparation for cleaning my world file, I ran emerge -p --depclean |
| 2 |
world. It listed these packages to be removed: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
app-crypt/gpgme |
| 5 |
app-crypt/opencdk |
| 6 |
app-text/rman |
| 7 |
dev-libs/libtasn1 |
| 8 |
dev-libs/lzo |
| 9 |
dev-python/pyxml |
| 10 |
gnome-base/gail |
| 11 |
net-libs/gnutls |
| 12 |
net-libs/libsoup |
| 13 |
perl-core/Storable |
| 14 |
perl-core/Test-Simple |
| 15 |
sys-devel/bc |
| 16 |
virtual/x11 |
| 17 |
x11-apps/sessreg |
| 18 |
x11-apps/ttmkfdir |
| 19 |
x11-apps/xcursorgen |
| 20 |
x11-apps/xdm |
| 21 |
x11-apps/xdriinfo |
| 22 |
x11-base/opengl-update |
| 23 |
x11-libs/libFS |
| 24 |
x11-libs/libXTrap |
| 25 |
x11-libs/libXevie |
| 26 |
x11-libs/libXprintAppUtil |
| 27 |
x11-libs/libXprintUtil |
| 28 |
x11-libs/libXvMC |
| 29 |
x11-libs/liboldX |
| 30 |
x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors |
| 31 |
x11-themes/gnome-themes |
| 32 |
x11-themes/gtk-engines |
| 33 |
x11-themes/xcursor-themes |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Obviously many, if not most of them are needed. Remove virtual/x11?????? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I noticed that many of them are dependencies of virtual/x11 so I added |
| 38 |
that to my world file, re-ran the --depclean and this time got only |
| 39 |
about half the recommendations. Was adding virtual/x11 to my world file |
| 40 |
the proper thing to do? Wonder why it wasn't there in the first place? |
