|
|
There is clearly something fundamental about portage that I don't understand.
Why is it that 176 packages get emerged when I emerge wpa_supplicant, even numerous X11 related packages?
How can I undo this operation and only emerge wpa_supplicant? |

It looks like wpa_supplicant has a qt4 use flag. It probably has the option of providing some kind of GUI.
Try adding:
Quote: | net-wireless/wpa_supplicant -qt4
|
to your /etc/portage/package.use and see if this large dependency chain goes away.
You can also browse the dependencies with:
Code: | equery depgraph wpa_supplicant
|
Note: equery requires the gentoolkit |

Probably because it asks for qt4 by default which requires X (I assume as dev-qt/qtcore is an X library).
Perhaps setting
Code: | net-wireless/wpa_supplicant -qt4 |
would do the trick and you would only be able to use its console aspect...
