 Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2003 5:30 pm Post subject: How to find out what prog uses this dependency? |
 |
|
I just set up a brand new install from stage 1 for a cluster node and everything works fine, though I just noticed that I had a few USE variables too much (berkdb, gdbm, mysql, ssl).
So I just unmerged db (= Berkley DB, which provided transaction support for mysql), but when I do emerge -up world, it wants to reinstall the db package.
So, how can I find out what prog needs that "db"-package? Or is there currently no way of doing so -> emerge -e world (=re-compile all apps)?
Thanks in advance,

While definitely not perfect, this may help...
| Code: | # emerge gentoolkit
# qpkg -I -q | grep <dependency name>
|
There was just a conversation about this very thing in #gentoo (OPN / Freenode).
Hope that helps. |

| Happy to help. Some of the dependency information in Portage is a little hard to find at times. I know a few people were talking about how to improve some of things things... |
