Isn't cleanup better performed by emerge --depclean? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Won't emerge --depclean be confused if I change profile before running |
| 26 |
it? I'd expect it to check the USE flags before deciding to remove a |
| 27 |
package so if I change profile beforehand it will base decision on |
| 28 |
wrong assumptions. But I'm not at all sure about this, does anybody |
| 29 |
have an opinion? |

I'll check this. I confess consolekit is one of those packages that got |
| 50 |
installed somehow but I never did any configuration or study about it |
| 51 |
(i.e. I don't know why it's there...) |
