First look here for a setup of my problem. Now
or
| Code: |
emerge --depclean -p
|
gives me these results:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# emerge -p depclean

Maybe I'm missing something here but it picked XChat(I use), Mozilla(I use), and mplayerplug-in(I use). Why did it pick programs that I'm currently using? I don't know why it tagged those(and others I don't immediately recognize) as unused deps. |

Because that what it's supposed to do, it shows you all pacakges not any other pacakages depend on.
If you don't want to unmerge them then don't  |

No, no, no, no, no... depclean will check all installed packages and see if they are mentioned in the world-file. If a package does, then it will *not* list it. If a package is a member of the dependency tree of another package that is listed in the world-file, then it will also *not* list it.
In other words, if depclean shows packages that you don't want removed, enter them in the world-file (/var/cache/edb/world). |

| Enter them manually? I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do this. |

try
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge depclean -p |
as i suppose you're running unstable packages.
Otherwise depclean will consider only dependancies to the stable version of the installed packages. |

You have to add one or two lines to a simple text file. Do you really need a better way?
Anyway, the two lines to add to the file /var/cache/edb/world are:
| Code: | net-www/mozilla
net-irc/xchat |
