Hmmm. You need to do it the long way round: |
| 111 |
|
| 112 |
1. Remove them from the world file |
| 113 |
2. emerge -p --depclean |
| 114 |
3. Eyeball the output paying attention to KDE4 apps that portage thinks it |
| 115 |
must remove. Decide if you want to keep them. If so, put them in world or |
| 116 |
emerge the larger -meta package they are part of |
| 117 |
4. emerge -a --depclean and enter "y" only when you are finally happy with the |
| 118 |
list. Again, pay attention to version numbers. |
