1 Hi everybody,
2
3 I'm trying to clean my install (one year old, so it's time to do it). I run an
4 update, and run :
5 emerge --newuse -Dvu world
6
7 It installs a lot of update and so on and do everything ok.
8
9 Afterwards, I run :
10 revdep-rebuild
11
12 It makes a lot of rebuild about some broken link, I also uninstall so useless
13 software and/or lib.
14
15 Now, I'm quite sure everything is correctly linked, since runing emerge --newuse
16 -Dvu world or revdep-rebuild answers : << nothing has to be done >>.
17
18 Now I try the dangerous following command as describe in the documentation :
19 emerge --depclean -p (just to see what should be done)
20
21 And then I'm quite surprise, 41 packages should be removed, and among them, a
22 lot of usefull lib or tool (perl-ldap, xinetd, and so on ...)
23
24 Is this result normal ? What did I miss ?
25
26 Thank by advance about this your help.
27 Sébastien
