Hi,
I have a problem while try to unmerge enlightenment, the output of depclean

Code:


emerge --ask --depclean -v enlightenment efl

Calculating dependencies... done!
  dev-libs/efl-1.26.2 pulled in by:
    x11-wm/enlightenment-0.25.3 requires >=dev-libs/efl-1.26.1[eet,fontconfig,X]

  x11-wm/enlightenment-0.25.3 pulled in by:
    virtual/notification-daemon-0 requires x11-wm/enlightenment


after I try (only for test) to do

Code:
emerge --ask --depclean -v enlightenment efl virtual/notification-daemon

Calculating dependencies... done!
  dev-libs/efl-1.26.2 pulled in by:
    x11-wm/enlightenment-0.25.3 requires >=dev-libs/efl-1.26.1[eet,fontconfig,X]

  virtual/notification-daemon-0 pulled in by:
    x11-libs/libnotify-0.7.12 requires =virtual/notification-daemon-0, virtual/notification-daemon

  x11-wm/enlightenment-0.25.3 pulled in by:
    virtual/notification-daemon-0 requires x11-wm/enlightenment



but it seems strange, I don't understand why libnotify (that I'm sure is used from xfce) need enlightenment

Somebody can explain me what I miss? Thanks a lot

It's a notification system to show pop ups for the logged in user.

It's not that libnotify needs enlightenment, it needs some receiver for the messages. Enlightenment has a receiver as well as xfce4-notifyd.

Ultimately you will need one of the notify receivers, you can try x11-misc/notification-daemon if you have no other desktop environment.
The rdeps in the ebuild specifies
Code:
RDEPEND="
        gnome? ( || ( x11-misc/notification-daemon
                gnome-base/gnome-shell ) )
        kde? ( kde-plasma/plasma-workspace )
        !gnome? ( !kde? ( || (
                x11-misc/notification-daemon
                gnome-extra/cinnamon
                gui-apps/mako
                xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd
                x11-misc/notify-osd
                x11-misc/dunst
                >=x11-wm/awesome-3.4.4[dbus]
                x11-wm/enlightenment
                x11-misc/mate-notification-daemon
                lxqt-base/lxqt-notificationd
                net-misc/eventd[notification] ) ) )"

just need to pick one if you don't have any installed.

eccerr0r thanks!

Do you mean that if I emerge, for example, x11-misc/notification-daemon, after I can unmerge enlightement whitout problem because xfce recognise x11-misc/notification-daemon?

Exactly. Though for XFCE, I would recommend xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd as the replacement just to keep in the same ecosystem.
