Using the -C (--unmerge) option for emerge can break your system. You should try the -c option instead (--depclean):
| Code: | | emerge --ca app-i18n/ibus |
But first I suggest running the following command:
| Code: | | equery depends app-i18n/ibus |
This will show you which packages depend on app-i18n/ibus.
Please also check if you have any package with the "ibus" local USE flag in /etc/portage/make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use. |

| A better way to ask whether a package is needed is to ask Portage to explain it. equery depends can show conditional dependencies that are inactive due to local configuration. Instead, run emerge --pretend --verbose --depclean category/package. If a dependency prevents removing the package, emerge will show the package(s) preventing removal. |

app-i18n/ibus-1.5.21 pulled in by:
gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.32.2 requires >=app-i18n/ibus-1.5.2
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.32.2::gentoo USE="bluetooth browser-extension networkmanager systemd (-elogind) -gtk-doc -ibus -telepathy -test" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_6 -python3_5 -python3_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_6 -python3_5 -python3_7" 1,444 KiB
I use USE=-ibus reinstall the gnome-shell but it still need the ibus, anyway? |

| It looks like gnome-shell has two separate ibus depend lines, one with the USE flag and one unconditional. Not sure if that's correct, but it means you can't uninstall it. |

| I agree with Ant P. You cannot remove app-i18n/ibus according to the gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.32.2 ebuild. But I have no idea if ibus is really needed by the GNOME Shell or if it could be optionally dropped. |
