 Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2003 3:42 pm Post subject: Cleaning out dups |
 |
|
| I have a few dups on my system all using different SLOTS. I was trying to find a way to see if the older versions are still need anymore. I with no luck i haven't been able to find a solution to this yet. I realize that there are some packages that need SLOTS and that I am going to have some dups but I have one package that has 4 different versions installed. |

just do an emerge -c
'man emerge' for mor information
Take a look into you're FEATURE variable at /etc/make.conf and if you see noclean there, then delete it and emerge can delete old versions for you when upgrading the system  |

| Code: |
emerge clean docbook-sgml-dtd
app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd
selected: none
protected: 4.1-r1 4.0-r1 3.0-r1 3.1-r1
omitted: none
|
That is because they are in different SLOTS if understand this right.
What I am looking for is to see if there is any packages depending on those older versions. |

You can put this flag into your /etc/make.conf for automatic delete older versions
AUTOCLEAN="yes" |

What I am looking for is to see if there is a way to find out if those older packages still needed or are they just not getting cleaned out because they are in different slots. I know about cleaning and autoclean thanks for trying to help.

try with gentoolkit, something like this ::
| Code: |
qpkg -nc -I -q $packgeName
try with complete package names ex. : dev-libs/fribidi-0.10.4-r1
|
it will give you who depend's on the package.
