2 #emerge --depclean --backtrack=60 --ask
3 after updating my system today, I have got the following:
4 >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
5
6 dev-lang/tk
7 selected: 8.5.15
8 protected: none
9 omitted: none
10
11 dev-lang/tcl
12 selected: 8.5.15-r1
13 protected: none
14 omitted: none
15
16 All selected packages: dev-lang/tk-8.5.15 dev-lang/tcl-8.5.15-r1
17
18 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
19 >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
20
21 Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No]
22
23 On the other hand,
24 $ equery depends
25 gives
26 $ equery depends tk
27 * These packages depend on tk:
28 app-text/epspdf-0.6.0 (tk ? dev-lang/tk)
29 dev-lang/R-3.0.1 (tk ? dev-lang/tk)
30 dev-lang/ocaml-3.12.1 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-3.3.3)
31 dev-lang/python-2.7.7 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.0)
32 dev-lang/python-3.3.5-r1 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.0)
33 dev-libs/libisoburn-1.3.4 (launch-frontend ? dev-lang/tk:0)
34 (launch-frontend-setuid ? dev-lang/tk:0)
35 dev-ml/lablgl-1.05 (tk ? >=dev-lang/tk-8.3)
36 dev-vcs/git-1.8.5.5 (tk ? dev-lang/tk)
37
38 What does it means?
39
40 Do all these packages depend on dev-lang/tk or not?
41
42 Can I answer Yes to emerge --depclean --ask?
