Unmerging KDE

Message

ultraViolet · Post by **ultraViolet** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 4:21 pm

Hi,
I would like to unmerge KDE as a whole (kde and all packages installed when I typed "emerge kde").
Could someone give the emerge options to use ?

I never did it, but I suppose it would be

Code: Select all

 emerge -C kdebase

Before you run it, try and see what programs it would un-merge using this

Code: Select all

emerge -pC kdebase

It will unmerge kdebase only...

# emerge -pC kdebase

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

kde-base/kdebase
selected: 3.2.3-r1
protected: none
omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

I just made a similar thread that got moved to this forum, but for gnome. Look at:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=212214

just remove kde first. Give me some feedback if that works for you.

try that:

emerge -C kde

emerge -p depclean (here you should get a list with the unneeded kde packages)

emerge depclean !! caution, try that on your own risk, maybe there are other packages that you remove with the kde packages !!

I used something like this when I removed kde 3.2.3

Code: Select all

qpkg -v kde-base | grep 3.2 | xargs emerge -Ca

Don't forget arts either.

Thank you very much. I have used the qpkg -v kde-base | grep 3.2 | xargs emerge -Ca method and it has worked well...

When I tried qpkg -v kde-base | grep 3.1 | xargs emerge -Ca, this is what I got. Any pointers?

Vidur,

this is because the ebuilds for kde 3.1.4 are not in the portage any more!
Maybe, you can rename the ebuilds for kde 3.1.5 to kde 3.1.4 and try again

di · Post by di » Fri Sep 03, 2004 7:18 pm

Vidur,

There is spurious output in the above qpkg command and that is
confusing emerge. (Specifically the * and details related to uninstalled
versions of kde) Here's a suggestion that works for me. Try,

qpkg -nc -v -I kde | grep 3.2 | cut -d"/" -f2 | xargs echo

and if that shows you nothing damaging, go ahead with,

qpkg -nc -v -I kde | grep 3.2 | cut -d"/" -f2 | xargs emerge -Ca

The -nc is used to get output with no colors and also to get rid of
the * in the output. The -I restricts the search to installed packages
and the -v makes sure that version numbers are listed in the output.

Note, this isn't going to remove everything emerged as a result
of adding kde to your system, just the obvious kde packages. A
brute force search can give you information about other packages
that _may_ be removable.

qpkg -f /usr/kde/3.2 | more

do I have to reinstall all my programs when i unmerge gnome and emerge kde afterwards?

irf2003 · Post by **irf2003** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 10:52 am

Code: Select all

emerge -C kde-base/arts \
kde-base/kdelibs \
kde-base/kdebase \
kde-base/kdeaddons \
kde-base/kdeadmin \
kde-base/kdeartwork \
kde-base/kdeedu \
kde-base/kdegames \
kde-base/kdegraphics \
kde-base/kdemultimedia \
kde-base/kdenetwork \
kde-base/kdepim \
kde-base/kdenetwork \
kde-base/kdetoys \
kde-base/kdeutils \
kde-base/kdeaccessibility \
kde-base/kde-env \
kde-base/kde

for kde 3.3, add kde-base/kdewebdev to the above
hth
happy gentooing

I'm trying to remove KDE too.

I started by doing this:

Code: Select all

bash-2.05b# qpkg | grep kde
app-doc/kdelibs-apidocs
app-pda/synce-kde
dev-embedded/pikdev
dev-python/pykde
dev-util/kdevelop
kde-base/arts
kde-base/kde
kde-base/kde-env
kde-base/kde-i18n
kde-base/kdeaccessibility
kde-base/kdeaddons
kde-base/kdeadmin
kde-base/kdeartwork
kde-base/kdebase
kde-base/kdebindings
kde-base/kdeedu
kde-base/kdegames
kde-base/kdegraphics
kde-base/kdelibs
kde-base/kdemultimedia
kde-base/kdenetwork
kde-base/kdepim
kde-base/kdesdk
kde-base/kdetoys
kde-base/kdeutils
kde-base/kdewebdev
kde-base/unsermake
media-plugins/xmms-kde
media-tv/kdetv
media-video/kdenlive
net-wireless/kdebluetooth

So after that I did emerge -C with all those apps listed and it failed on most of them but claimed to erase kdebase.

So I did emerge -auvD world and it wants to update KDE!

Code: Select all

[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kde-env-3-r3   [empty/missing/bad digest] 
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.0  -alsa -arts -arts +cups -debug -debug -doc -ipv6 -ldap +ssl +tiff  0 kB

How do I get rid of KDE?!

I tried the qpkg things that di suggested and got nowhere.

gehidore · Post by **gehidore** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 3:13 am

try this

Code: Select all

echo 'kde-base/kde-env' >> /etc/portage/package.mask
echo 'kde-base/kdelibs' >> /etc/portage/package.mask

then

Code: Select all

emerge -auvD world

now wait for portage to choke see what program it chokes on, and

Code: Select all

emerge -C choked package

do it untill it no longer chokes. then delete your masks

Code: Select all

echo ' ' > /etc/portage/package.mask

and continue

Code: Select all

emerge -auvD world

Yeah that worked for me!

Thanks gehidore!

Thanks, di. I learned alot from your command formating and got KDE as well as other pakages sorted out.
