1 Hi folks,
2
3 I do a --depclean -p every once in a while. I did one tonight and it
4 said musicbrains was not used by anything but k3b. I checked my USE
5 line and made sure it was not in there to be used and re-emerged k3b to
6 make sure it was not compiled with it somehow.

8 When I did a emerge -C musicbrainz it said it wasn't found. Something
9 like this:

11 > root@smoker / # emerge -C musicbrains

17 Well, I did a locate for anything containing music and found some left
18 over stuff from musicbrainz. Example but not all of it.

36 So, it was there at some point I guess. Here is my k3b info now, after
37 the re-emerge:

55 Question is, since it does not have record of what to remove, how do I
56 get rid of it without breaking something? I want to do this in a
57 "clean" way if possible. Can I emerge it as a oneshot then unmerge it
58 or will the mtimes mess up something? I read mtimes is how portage can
59 tell if something has been messed with or not since it was merged.
60 Teach me something if I am wrong here.
61
62 Thanks in advance for the help.
