`emerge -pv --depclean sys-apps/net-tools` is more reliable than equery |
| 12 |
for finding dependencies. It will tell you that net-tools is part of |
| 13 |
@system. It is generally discouraged for ebuild-developers to add |
| 14 |
dependencies to stuff that belongs to @system. Therefore equery does not |
| 15 |
help you find all dependencies. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If you are so eager to remove net-tools, you can try to replace all |
| 18 |
binaries with symlinks to /bin/busybox. It should contain minimal |
| 19 |
implementations for most binaries like hostname. Note that this can |
| 20 |
seriously break your system if the busybox implementation is insufficient. |
| 21 |

Hope this helps, |
