That's a lot of packages to remove in one go. I'd remove a few at a time, |
| 24 |
running emerge -utvDN world after each run. As long as nothing not on the |
| 25 |
depclean list ries to pull the removed packages back in, remove a few |
| 26 |
more. It takes a bit longer, but makes it easier to identify the cause |
| 27 |
if a problem occurs. I'd start with the non-library packages. |
