Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to understand how ebuild dependencies work |
| 4 |
in gentoo. If I type: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
emerge -vpu --deep --tree kde-base/kdebase |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I see the package x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-2.12.1 |
| 9 |
at one of the roots of the tree. The kdebase version |
| 10 |
is 3.5.1-r3. Firstly how can anything other than |
| 11 |
kde-base/kdebase be at the root of the tree? Surely |
| 12 |
with this command everything installed or upgraded |
| 13 |
must either directly or indirectly depend on |
| 14 |
kde-base/kdebase? Assuming that |
| 15 |
x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme must be a direct dependent |
| 16 |
of kde-base/kdebase I still cannot see any references |
| 17 |
to gnome-icon-theme in |
| 18 |
/usr/portage/kde-base/kdebase/kdebase-3.5.1-r3.ebuild. |
| 19 |
I have tried adding the -e switch to emerge but |
| 20 |
x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme still appears at a root of |
| 21 |
the tree? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Can anybody explain or refer to an explanation of how |
| 24 |
dependencies work in Gentoo? |
| 25 |
