11 I think what is more useful is --prune (I'm guessing as I'm not in
12 front of a Gentoo box at the moment). I usually try:
13
14 # emerge -Pp
15
16 to see all the possible "pruning" that can be done. Then individually
17 prune packages using:
18
19 # emerge -P <package name>
20
21 I'm sure there's a better way to do things. Also be sure to follow up
22 a prune with a "deep world" emerge, ie.:
23
24 # emerge -DNuva world
25
26 It'll make sure if you prune something like automake that isn't back /
27 forth - compatible will be restored to your system.
