I'd like to remove ruby and all related packages (those in the dev-ruby category) from my system, as I don't need them for the moment. So I put -ruby in make.conf, recompiled and removed them manually (because depclean didn't want to remove them). But now emerge wants to reinstall them:

Code:

# emerge -uDNpv --with-bdeps=y @world -t

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Total: 9 packages (9 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB


I can't understand which package causes this, as it's not really clear to me the meaning of "nomerge" at the beginning and the reason for the first 4 packages to be listed two times.

Any idea? Thank you.

Probably there is a reason. :wink: Could you post the output of
Code:
grep ruby /var/lib/portage/world
please?

[nomerge] is shown just to show the dependency tree (-t). Maybe you already have got something installed?

net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.10.2-r300 started pulling in a bunch of ruby stuff. Motivated me to add -webkit to my /etc/make.conf. Don't see any mention of webkit in the OP post, however.

Yes, I have net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.10.2-r300 installed, but in the ebuild it seems it only pulls ruby if python-2 is not installed:
Code:
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        ...
        =dev-lang/python-2*
        || ( virtual/rubygems[ruby_targets_ruby19]
             virtual/rubygems[ruby_targets_ruby18] )
        ...

Of course I have python-2 installed (dev-lang/python-2.7.3-r3 to be precise).

actually webkit needs python2 and either rubygems-1.9 or rubygems-1.8 (which explains the need for ruby).

Oh. You're right. I just read http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html (section "Any of Many Dependencies") and it's clear that I interpreted the meaning of the || operator in the wrong way. Thank you.

I'm going to keep ruby then, as webkit seems to be needed by GNOME.
