If you have installed monolithic KDE than you can't unmerge only KWallet. You |
| 8 |
would have to unmerge kdeutils which also contains programs you might need. |

If you're using the KDE split ebuilds you can use 'equery d <package-name>' |
| 12 |
(app-portage/gentoolkit) to see what installed packages depend on |
| 13 |
<package-name>. For example, Konqueror is needed by Kdesktop and Amarok |
| 14 |
among other things, so you probably don't want to unmerge it if you need |
| 15 |
either of them. |

Simply unmerging a package that is needed by some other package is not |
| 18 |
sufficient as it would be pulled back in when you next run 'emerge -D world'. |

KWallet only depends on kdeutils-meta. If you want to get rid of it unmerge |
| 21 |
kdeutils-meta and add the packages pulled in by kdeutils-meta to the world |
| 22 |
file (/var/lib/portage/world). You can find the names of these packages in the |
| 23 |
kdeutils-meta ebuild: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
RDEPEND=" |
| 26 |
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/ark) |
| 27 |
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kcalc) |
| 28 |
$(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kcharselect) |
| 29 |
lirc? ( $(deprange $PV $MAXKDEVER kde-base/kdelirc) ) |
| 30 |
[...] |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So you would add lines such as these: |
| 33 |
kde-base/ark |
| 34 |
kde-base/kcalc |
| 35 |
... in the world file for each package you need and unmerge the ones you don't |
| 36 |
need. Be carefull with those useflag conditioned dependencies as in the case |
| 37 |
of kde-base/kdelirc which only gets installed if lirc useflag is activated. |

Take a look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml#doc_chap2_sect3 . |
