I added: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps n" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
to make.conf and ran 'emerge --depclean' and it got rid of a bunch of |
| 18 |
stuff, but I'm still confused by boost. --depclean didn't remove it, |
| 19 |
'emerge -avDuN world' doesn't downgrade it even --with-bdeps y, but |
| 20 |
'emerge -pv boost' would downgrade it. I also re-emerged twinkle and |
| 21 |
rb_libtorrent which are the packages that depend on boost, but the |
| 22 |
result is the same. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Also man seems to be broken after that --depclean. When I try to use |
| 25 |
it, I get errors starting with: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
sh: /usr/bin/unlzma: No such file or directory |
