Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2003 5:51 pm Post subject: Removing Gnome |
|
|
I have both KDE and Gnome on my laptop but my laptop only has a 4GB drive and I am running short on space. I don't use Gnome so I want to remove it to free up space and to avoid the long builds of new versions. I may remove KDE, and stick with good ole fluxbox, for the same reasons (though I have grown somewhat partial to parts of KDE).
I've removed a pile of packages so far, all the gnome-base and gnome-extra stuff and some others, but emerge -uDpv world still wants to re-install Gnome:
Code: | roo root # emerge -upDv world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/ORBit-0.5.17 +nls
[ebuild UD] app-office/openoffice-bin-1.0.3.1 [1.1_beta-r1] +kde -gnome

How can I find out what is triggering this? I am assuming it is something which is still installed which depends on Gnome since emerge -upv world does not list all the Gnome modules. I am going through my package list line by line but is there some easier way to see what is causing this? (I have USE=-gnome set).
And of course emerge wants to downgrade my OpenOffice again (emerge has flipflopped me between 1.0x and 1.1x 4 times now ... I suppose I could edit my world file to avoid that).

Two things:
1) Have you set -gnome2 in your USE flags too?
2) You can use qpkg -q -v -I <packagename> to see which packages depend on which.
hope that helps. _________________ Please put [SOLVED] in your topic if you are a moron. |
